CloudCasa enhances Kubernetes backup with new features

CloudCasa by Catalogic has announced an updated version of its CloudCasa software, enhancing Kubernetes backup and disaster recovery capabilities.

The newly released software introduces increased user flexibility and control, especially with its advanced file-level restore for Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs). This function enables users to restore individual files to existing PVCs, which can be executed across original or alternate clusters. Further enhancements include improved selection and management for virtual machines (VMs) and more precise handling of PVC backups, aimed at simplifying data protection in Kubernetes and VM environments.

Among the new features, users can now select specific VMs for backup and restoration with increased control over their state when restored. This capability supports major virtualisation platforms such as OpenShift Virtualization, SUSE Virtualization, and KubeVirt.

In the area of PVC management, the latest update permits users to select PVCs specifically for backup and restore while offering options to overwrite existing PVCs during the restoration process. These enhancements are designed to streamline data protection tasks.

Bob Adair, Head of Product Management at CloudCasa, commented on the update: "With the introduction of these features, CloudCasa has significantly improved the backup and restore experience for our users, particularly with our flexible file-level restore for PVCs. This update allows users to select specific files for restore, and to easily choose where they should be restored to, even across environments. It's all about giving users more control and reducing the complexity traditionally associated with data recovery on Kubernetes."
