OpenShift Virtualization / KubeVirt Backup with Veeam
VMs on Kubernetes protected from Veeam through the 13.1 KubeVirt Proxy, with Veeam Kasten covering the rest of the cluster.
Why OpenShift Virtualization / KubeVirt and Veeam
OpenShift Virtualization and other KubeVirt-based distributions run virtual machines alongside containers on the same Kubernetes cluster. It is the path many organisations leaving vSphere take when they would rather not stand up another traditional hypervisor. Veeam 13.1 introduces the KubeVirt Proxy, built with the Kasten team, as the management interface for this ecosystem.
KubeVirt Proxy introduced in Veeam 13.1 as the interface for KubeVirt-based hypervisors.
Veeam Kasten protects native Kubernetes resources: manifests, PVs, ConfigMaps and entire namespaces.
Immutable offsite copy of both VMs and cluster persistent data in our Madrid repository.
What you can do with Veeam
Protection capabilities available on OpenShift Virtualization / KubeVirt in Veeam Backup & Replication 13.1.
Agentless incremental backup
Forever-incremental copies using KubeVirt CBT. Only changed blocks travel, shrinking the backup window and network usage.
Instant Recovery
Boot the machine straight from the repository in minutes, without waiting for a full restore. Targets: vSphere, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV or Proxmox VE.
Granular restore
Recover a single file, a mailbox or a database table without bringing up the whole VM or restoring the entire backup.
Application-aware processing
Consistent copies of SQL Server, Exchange, Active Directory, Oracle and PostgreSQL, with log truncation and point-in-time restore.
Malware scanning
Content analysis of the backup to spot dormant threats and locate the last clean point before restoring.
Immutable offsite copy
Automatic shipping of restore points to our Madrid repository, with immutability and end-to-end encryption.
And the copy that saves you: offsite at EasyDataHost
Local backup handles accidental deletion. It does not handle fire, theft, or ransomware that reaches the backup console. That is why the copy of your OpenShift Virtualization / KubeVirt environment leaves your infrastructure and lands in our Tier III+ Madrid data center.
Real immutability
Once written, the copy cannot be modified or deleted until retention expires. Not even with compromised admin credentials.
End-to-end encryption
AES-256 in transit and at rest. You hold the keys: without them the data is unreadable, including to us.
ENS High and ISO 27001
Infrastructure certified to ENS High (RD 311/2022) and ISO 27001:2022, audited by SGS.
Data in Spain
Tier III+ data center in Madrid (Data4, Alcobendas). Data residency on Spanish soil and GDPR compliance.
24/7 support
Engineers who know your platform. No escalation to a support centre in another time zone.
Veeam Gold Partner
Licences at a discount on list price, architecture design and rollout included.
How it works
Veeam protects your OpenShift Virtualization / KubeVirt environment
Backup jobs run against your infrastructure and write to your local repository, on the window and retention you define.
A backup copy job does the rest
You add our repository as the secondary target. Veeam ships restore points automatically, incrementally and encrypted.
GFS retention and immutability
Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly per your policy. With immutability on, nobody can delete them early — you included.
You restore when you need to
Full VM, disk, file or application, straight from the offsite copy and without downloading the whole backup.
Capabilities on this platform
Based on the capabilities Veeam publishes for version 13.1. We validate your specific scenario before any proposal.
