Unified backups have cut storage costs and now protect Kubernetes workloads across clouds
Portworx PX-Backup uses global deduplication, which helps us to eliminate redundant data across multiple backup sets, reducing storage cost and improving backup and restore speeds. Portworx PX-Backup offers several best features including advanced snapshotting, incremental backups, global deduplication, cloud-native architecture, and multi-cloud support. The feature that has made the biggest difference for my team is global deduplication, which eliminates redundant data across multiple backup sets, reducing storage cost and improving backup and restore speeds. Portworx PX-Backup has positively impacted my organization by eliminating redundant data across multiple backup sets through global deduplication, which reduces storage cost and improves backup and restore speeds. Through incremental backups, Portworx PX-Backup allows only the changed data to be backed up instead of the entire data set, thereby reducing backup time and storage cost.

Reliable backups have protected Kubernetes workloads and now simplify disaster recovery
Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes does not require any additional setup. It runs as a pod inside a cluster, allowing you to take a backup of your Kubernetes cluster from within it. It has snapshot-level capability, so you can take a backup of your complete cluster and store it in your cloud environment such as S3 buckets. Integration of Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes is easier because it can be deployed on any type of CNCF-certified Kubernetes distribution. I usually integrate Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes with my Kubernetes cluster, which can be on any platform such as Nutanix, OpenShift, or bare metal. It increases the backup process with its automation feature. I only need to schedule the time and which namespace or workload type should be backed up at a particular time of the month, day, or week, and it automates the process effectively. It also transfers, imports, and exports the data wherever I need. Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes has excellent security measures with different types of roles. I cannot take a backup of anything without the appropriate role, and I also need a token for accessing the Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes dashboard. It has robust security features. Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes offers a lot of policy features. Inside my cluster and dashboard, I can create policies and use them according to my compliance requirements.
