Organizations continue to make the shift to Kubernetes environments, but challenges involving stateful data backup remain. However, what is left unsaid in these statistics is how deploying applications on Kubernetes without the appropriate data backup and management systems creates a number of risks for data breaches, loss or corruption.

But replication isn’t data backup or storage.

In fact, backing up Kubernetes applications using traditional backup solutions can actually increase your risk of data loss, due to the nature of containers and the combination of stateful and stateless components within them.

Let’s examine why a Kubernetes-native backup solution is the best choice for protecting your expanding Kubernetes environment: While regular backups are standard procedure for development teams, the increasing adoption of Kubernetes calls for revisiting traditional backup methods to ensure data protection and security, as well as the reliability and availability of enterprise applications.
