Backup in Kubernetes environments – featured image

Kubernetes has become the standard platform for modern applications, but data protection in such environments requires a different approach than in traditional virtual server setups. Applications are no longer tied to a single system. Instead, they consist of multiple interconnected components: Kubernetes objects, configurations, secrets, persistent data, and external services.

As a result, traditional backup approaches based on disk or server copies are often insufficient for reliable recovery.

Why Kubernetes Backup Is a Unique Challenge

Distributed architecture: Data and configuration are spread across multiple resources and services. Recovery requires a holistic view of the application.

Data consistency: It is critical to capture the correct application state, not just a technical snapshot of data. This is especially important for databases.

Rapidly changing environments: With GitOps, Helm charts, and operators, environments evolve continuously. Backup strategies must keep pace with these changes.

The Kubernetes-Native Approach

Modern backup solutions treat the application. Instead of protecting individual servers, they focus on:

  • application resources and namespaces
  • persistent data
  • protection and retention policies
  • verified and tested recovery

What You Will Gain from This Webinar

In this webinar, through explanation and practical examples, you will:

  • understand the key differences between traditional and Kubernetes backup
  • learn what must be included in a comprehensive backup strategy
  • explore best practices (3-2-1 approach, encryption, recovery testing, RPO/RTO)
  • understand technical approaches such as CSI snapshots, object storage, and application hooks
  • compare leading tools such as Veeam Kasten, Portworx Backup, and other approaches (Velero/OADP, GitOps as a complement)

Who Should Attend

This webinar is intended for IT managers, system engineers, platform teams, DevOps teams, and anyone who wants to better understand how to protect applications and data in Kubernetes environments.
