Protect your Postgres EDB database with Kasten

For those not familiar EDB or Enterprise DB (https://www.enterprisedb.com/) EDB is PosgreSQL under the hood but with enterprise support in mind so we have seen an uplift of our customers especially in the Kubernetes world adopting EDB for their Postgres databases on Kubernetes. 

With that in mind Michael Courcy put together this great walkthrough blog of the how those databases provisioned by the operator can be protected using Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes

https://veeamkasten.dev/edb-and-kasten

For those not familiar with Kubernetes Operators, Operators are patterns that extend the behaviour of the Kubernetes cluster. For example, a Postgres operator helps run PostgreSQL databases on Kubernetes by handling tasks like provisioning, failover, and backups automatically. 

We teamed up with EDB (EnterpriseDB) and we created a Kasten blueprint that enables us to speak to the operator and perform that backup on a cluster with the ability to use a secondary copy, then restore does the same > speaks to the operator, informs it that we are going to restore xyz it then knows what to do from a desired state perspective. 

He asked me to put a video demo together showing the process.
