Data Recovery

Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes offers the following recovery options for various disaster recovery scenarios:

Restores applications to the Kubernetes cluster (using the Veeam Kasten web console).

Restore persistent disks from backups and convert them to disks in the VMDK, VHD or VHDX format.

Recover persistent disks from backup files and register them as First Class Disks (FCDs).

Recover individual guest OS files from Linux file systems.

Synthesize an independent full backup file using restore points that are located in your Veeam backup repositories.

Important

Consider the following:

Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes does not allow you to restore Kubernetes containers from a Veeam Backup & Replication server to a Kasten cluster or any other location. To perform the restore operations with Kubernetes containers, use Kasten recovery options. For more information, see Veeam Kasten Docs.
You can perform the recovery options (except restore to the Kubernetes cluster) only for restore points exported to the Veeam backup repository.
Restore points created by backup copy jobs or tape jobs can be recovered only by using operations available in the Veeam Backup & Replication console. You cannot use Kasten recovery options.
