Kasten’s Kubernetes backups can be stored in ransomware-proof immutable locations. Kasten workloads will be added into Veeam’s automated backup data lifecycle management for policy management. These same repositories will store Kasten K10 backups of Kubernetes-orchestrated container workloads. The system stores RHV backups in Veeam backup repositories – disk, solid state, object storage, cloud, and tape – enabling centralised backup management and monitoring. Red Hat and KastenĪs part of this drive to protect all systems, Veeam is adding support for Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) backup with agentless, image-level backup and recovery of RHV virtual machines using changed block tracking (CBT). It certainly gives both Veritas and Sanjay Mirchandani’s Commvault something to aim at. This self-imposed Veeam target, of protecting all workloads across all environments, is a formidable undertaking and one which no other backup supplier has publicly proclaimed as its aim.

The firm stated in a release: “Modern Data Protection, defined by Veeam, provides a single platform for data resiliency to protect every workload, access all platforms with a single experience, reduce operational costs, and ensure guaranteed recovery.” So far Veeam says it supports 83 primary storage arrays and 85 secondary storage systems and has validated support for 37 object storage systems, 12 of which are immutable – including AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Storage. Allan added: “I believe that Veeam will become the #1 industry leader in total revenue within the next 2 years.”
