Option to Add Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes Does Not Appear in Veeam Backup & Replication

This issue may occur if:

• The Veeam Kubernetes Service is not running and needs to be started.
  
• The Kasten Plug-In is not installed.
  ^{This possibility is less common as the plug-in is now automatically installed alongside Veeam Backup & Replication.}

1. Connect to the Veeam Backup Server.
2. Close the Veeam Backup & Replication Console.
   
3. Verify that the Veeam Kubernetes Service service is present and running.
   1. If the service is missing, mount the Veeam Backup & Replication ISO, and install the VeeamKasten plugin packages from "X:\Plugins\Kasten\"
   2. If the service is present but not running, Start the service.
      Note: If the service fails to start with "Error 1064", review KB4427.
4. Reopen the Veeam Backup & Replication Console and check if the option to add Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes is now avaialble.
