Hi All,
Can we create like backup copy from Kasten exported data?
I know we can set only one export location to the snapshot action? But what if the requirements we need more than one copy on different storage for the application backup?
Also, how can we delete the local snapshot created by Kasten on OCS CSI storage for example and how can we see this data from openshift side not Kasten dashboard?
Thank you

Elsayed, Thank you for creating this topic.
We currently don’t support using two location target in a single policy.
However, you can have two different policies referencing two different location profile for the same application.
To your second question, ideally we don’t recommend you to delete the snapshots manually that was created by kasten unless you have a deletionPolicy in your snapshotclass set to retain and Kasten is unable to delete your snapshots effectively.
You will have to rely on kasten’s retire workflow for the restorepoints to cleanup the snapshots that gets created locally in your storage system.
If you want to look at the snapshots from your openshift OCS storage, it is just a CSI volume snapshot resource at the k8s level. So just listing volumesnapshots in the namespace level might just be sufficient for you to look at these snapshots.
