Benefits

Kubernetes Protection for
Enterprise Ops

Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes v9.0 strengthens Kubernetes data protection for enterprise operations with choice and scale. Get multi-workload resilience, plus new security and observability improvements.

Featured Capabilities

Built for Enterprise Kubernetes Recovery

Enterprise Choice Across Storage and Data

Choose the storage and data services that fit your environment. Apply consistent policies for backup and recovery across clusters, without reworking your platform choices.

One Approach for Multi-Workload Recovery

Protect and recover container apps, VM-based Kubernetes workloads, and AI workloads with a consistent approach, so your teams spend less time managing tools and more time restoring fast.

Security and Observability Built In

Strengthen recovery readiness with security and observability improvements. Spot issues earlier, validate protection, and recover with confidence across cloud-native apps, VMs, and AI workloads.

Capabilities

Simplify and Secure Apps, VMs, and AI Workloads

Veeam Vault on AWS as an Export Target

Store backup copies in Veeam Vault, hosted on AWS S3, to extend retention and strengthen off-cluster recovery options.

Export Kubernetes Metadata to Veeam Backup & Replication

Strengthen Kasten and Veeam Backup & Replication integration by exporting complete Kubernetes backups in the native Veeam format, so your teams can manage recovery with familiar Veeam workflows.

Multiple Export Destinations for Backup Copies

Send exported backups to an additional repository to reduce risk and support different retention needs. Keep copies in more than one place without adding separate export jobs.

Faster Exports With Datamover Performance Improvements

Reduce resource usage during Kasten operations and improve export performance, helping clusters stay responsive while backup and export jobs run.

Blueprints for Custom Resources and AI Databases

Enable application-consistent backups for operator-managed Kubernetes data services. Use blueprints for custom resources and key AI databases, to protect stateful apps with less manual work.

OpenShift Virtualization Incremental Backup API Support

Reduce compute overhead and improve backup times for OpenShift Virtualization VMs using storage-agnostic APIs that support incremental backup workflows.

Label-Based VM Policies

Protect VMs dynamically using Kubernetes label matching. Increase policy flexibility for VM-based workloads as environments change, without rewriting rules for each new VM.

Kasten + Data Command Center Integration

Get a single view of Kubernetes backup coverage, risk, and audit readiness, so you can spot gaps faster and report with confidence.

Policy Enforcement for Actions and RestorePoints

Enforce environment- and user-specific rules for Kasten Actions and RestorePoints through admission controllers. Standardize what’s allowed, reduce mistakes, and support governance at scale.

Harden Kasten Pods With Read-Only Root Filesystems

Improve the security posture of Kasten deployments with read-only root filesystems, aligning your cluster hardening approach with NIST 800-190 guidance.

Observability With OpenShift Advanced Cluster Management

Centralize data protection operations and observability across multiple Kasten instances in Red Hat environments using OpenShift Advanced Cluster Management. Monitor data protection from the same management console used to manage clusters.

FAQs

Can Veeam Kasten protect virtual machines running on Kubernetes?
Absolutely. Veeam Kasten extends its Kubernetes-native protection to include virtual machines running in or alongside containerized environments. This gives you the same reliable backup, recovery, and application mobility for VMs as you get with containers—helping to secure legacy workloads, reduce complexity, and confidently migrate applications to modern infrastructure.
What is the importance of OpenShift Virtualization Incremental Backup API?
Kasten and Red Hat have partnered to develop a storage-agnostic approach that leverages hypervisor-level tracking of changed blocks to enable more efficient, scalable backup operations for KubeVirt-based VMs. Organizations gain optimized backup efficiency for OpenShift Virtualization, accelerating their cloud native journey.
How can export to multiple locations help users?
This new enhancement allows a user to configure a second export location from the same policy, drastically simplifying configuration and retention management for administrators who require multiple backup copies.
What is the value of label-based VM policies?
Label-based VM policies allow administrators to dynamically group and protect VMs based on business, application, or SLA-driven labels — regardless of namespace. This eliminates manual VM-by-VM policy management, ensures new VMs are automatically protected, and scales protection cleanly in large, multitenant deployments.
What datamover performance enhancements are being introduced and what is their value?
Improvements include a sharing/caching mechanism for index data from the remote repository and a new approach to storing that index data in Kasten worker Pods, reducing memory usage dramatically.
What is the significance of support for Veeam Vault backed by AWS?
Many organizations are standardized on Amazon Web Services. Supporting AWS removes cloud dependency and aligns Vault with customer cloud strategies. If workloads, applications, or disaster recovery environments are already in AWS, storing Vault backups there simplifies architecture and networking. Also, AWS offers extensive global coverage. Customers can select regions that meet data residency, sovereignty, and compliance requirements.
How is Kasten strengthening observability in this release with OpenShift Advanced Cluster Management?
Many enterprises run dozens or hundreds of OpenShift clusters across regions, clouds, and business units. By integrating Kasten multicluster management features with a widely adopted tool, customers can monitor their Kasten data protection operations from the same management console they use to manage their clusters.
What improvements is Kasten making to admission controller policies with this release?
Kasten is adding support for highly customizable user- and environment-specific rule enforcement. By integrating Kasten actions (both backups and restores) with Admission Controller policies, organizations ensure that any manipulation of cluster resources still goes through the same governance and enforcement rules as normal Kubernetes operations.
What improvements for AI data blueprints is Kasten delivering with this release?
Expanded blueprint capabilities for Kubernetes data services allow Kasten to protect more workloads than ever, including critical AI infrastructure. This builds on Kasten’s existing integration with the Kanister framework to improve Kasten’s ability to back up and recover operator-based data services on Kubernetes.
What is the importance of Kasten + Data Command Center integration?
Users get a single view of Kubernetes backup coverage, risk, and audit readiness, so they can spot gaps faster and report and correct with confidence.
