Kubernetes

You can use the Metallic software to back up and restore stateful Kubernetes applications and data.

Backups

Metallic provides the following key backup capabilities:

• Automatic discovery and backup of applications by using label selectors

• Automatic discovery and backup of namespaces

• Back up any Kubernetes orchestrated cluster, on-premise or cloud (such as GCP, AWS), and managed Kubernetes PaaS offerings such as Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

• Back up Kubernetes applications, which can be a pod, a deployment, a StatefulSet, or a workload

• Back up persistent volumes and persistent volume claims

• Back up custom resource definitions

Restores

Restores You Can Perform

• Recover a complete application to a previous point in time, including auto deployment to a new application or a new cluster

• Recover a sub-application from a composite (custom resource) application

• Recover an individual data volume from an application, for attaching to a new application

• Recover or download files and folders from data volumes, or application YAML manifests

Granularity You Can Use for Restores

• Application and data

• Data volumes

• Data (folders and files) from within the volume

Backups You Can Use for Restores

• The most recent backup: For example, restore the most recent backup to its original location

• A backup from a specific date: For example, restore data to a point in time before it became unusable

• Backups from a date range: For example, restore data that was accidentally deleted

Destinations You Can Restore To

• The current volume, application, or cluster (in place)

• A different volume, application, or cluster (out of place)
