Backup vSAN dynamic disks

[smateluna]

Hello everyone,

We have an issue backing up .vmdk files. We are using vSAN for our Openshift Platform dynamic PVCs storage, but we still can't find the way for backing up those .vmdk files, because those disks are not part of any virtual machine. Those disks are attached to some compute machine of the Openshift cluster when the related POD is created.

Those disks are created on the following path (on kubevols folder):
[vmware-datastore] kubevols/ocp-fbxmn-dynamic-pvc-db34gd7f-g339-44ae-8a8e-7f772h26ba7b.vmdk

Is there a way to backup all datastore content? (not the vm, but the folders and files)

Thanks in advance.

Regards.
Sergio

Hello,
and welcome to the forums.

Kubernetes (persistent volumes) can be backed up with Kasten K10 by Veeam. Backing up just the disk is usually not sufficient for Kubernetes apps. K10 is the right tool instead of Backup & Replication. There are separate Kasten K10 community forums

Best regards,
