Red Hat Openshift and VBR

Hi ​@De Cock 

For Kubernetes Workloads Kasten would be the right tool to use. 

https://docs.kasten.io/latest/usage/vm_protection/

According to what I can find you need to use Kasten for this not VBR.

As per - https://www.veeam.com/solutions/alliance-partners/kubernetes/openshift-redhat-backup.html

Hi ​@De Cock - concur with Chris here. There are some neat URLs to see how it’s done:

Guided tour:
https://veeamkasten.dev/ocpv-kasten-demo

And, an on-demand webinar from Red Hat:

https://www.redhat.com/en/engage/veeam-ondemand-webinar

And a nice whitepaper from Veeam:

Kasten Doc:

https://docs.kasten.io/7.0.12/usage/openshift_virtualization.html

Hope that helps.

All the info I see is going over Kubernetes VM, but what if you have regular non Kubernetes vms?

If you are using Red Hat virtualization it should work with Veeam Backup & Replication.

Thanks for that Chalid as that is the link I was trying to find.

Okay so if I using non Kubernetes vms in Red Hat OpenShift can I then use Veeam Backup and Replication only to protect this type of vms? 

That is correct.

Hi, you mentioned Red Hat Openshift so that would be Kubernetes, but Kubevirt allows it to run regular VMs inside. So Kasten is what you need here. There are other questions that arise about what type of storage your cluster is using and whether you want to use the Kasten operator or Helm. Check out the Kasten Support Group, or Kubernetes Korner Groups here for more information.
