Backup and restore of Kubernetes applications with file system volumes

NetBackup 10.1.1 extends its Kubernetes support with the following capabilities:

  • Backup and restore of Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) of mode file system for the Container Storage Interface (CSI) providers which supports the following features:

    • PVC snapshot capability

    • PVC volume provisioning based on the Network File System (NFS) or other non-block storage

    Note:

    Backup and restore of a namespace with mixed volumes is not supported in the NetBackup 10.1.1 release.

  • Application Consistency backups:

    To create backups of running applications, there might be a need to pause IO from application to persistent volume claim (disk) because the application data might not be always in consistent state.

    For more about the application consistency backups for Kubernetes, refer to this technical article:
