Kubernetes Backup: How It Works, What to Protect, and How to Choose a Solution in 2026
Kubernetes backup sounds straightforward until you look closely at ...
CloudCasa by Catalogic delivers Kubernetes ransomware protection with immutable, air-gapped backups, and fast recovery to a clean cluster, so you can recover Kubernetes workloads and virtual machines after an attack across any environment.
CloudCasa strengthens Kubernetes ransomware protection before, during, and after an attack:
CloudCasa stores backups with SafeLock immutability so they cannot be altered, encrypted, or deleted by ransomware, rogue admins, or compromised credentials during the retention period. Your last known good copy stays recoverable.
Backups are copied off-cluster to CloudCasa's secure cloud storage in a separate management domain, optionally in a different cloud or region than your production infrastructure, keeping recovery data out of an attacker's reach.
Restore namespaces, applications, persistent volumes, or entire clusters to a clean or rebuilt cluster, including cross-cluster, cross-region, and cross-cloud, so you avoid reinfecting recovered workloads.
Validate ransomware recovery in your own environment. Run real immutable backups and clean-cluster restores across your actual clusters, workloads, and policies before you commit, so you know recovery works when it counts.
CloudCasa provides Kubernetes ransomware protection capabilities that span hardening, immutable storage, and rapid recovery:
Tamperproof, WORM-style backup copies protect Kubernetes resources and persistent volume data from encryption or deletion. Combine retention locks for compliance-grade immutability.
All backup data is encrypted on the wire and in storage, reducing the risk of data exposure if backups, storage, or credentials are compromised.
Automated backup policies, schedules, and retention rules keep recoverable copies of Kubernetes resources and persistent volume data available before ransomware, misconfiguration, or accidental deletion becomes a business outage.
Recover a single file from a PVC, an individual Kubernetes resource, a namespace, or a full cluster. Targeted restores let you roll back only what was compromised without rebuilding everything.
Role-based access control, SSO integration, and tenant isolation limit blast radius and stop a single compromised account from reaching every backup.
Replicate and recover across clusters, regions, accounts, and clouds (EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift), so an attack on one environment doesn't take down your ability to recover.
CloudCasa builds ransomware resilience into a simple, policy-driven workflow:
Define backup policies that automatically protect Kubernetes resources and persistent volumes, with immutable copies sent to secure, air-gapped cloud storage.
Backups land in a separate management domain, encrypted in transit and at rest, and optionally in a different cloud or region than production.
Continuous scanning, dashboards, and alerting flag configuration and security risks across clusters before and after backups run.
Restore granularly or recover entire clusters to a clean or rebuilt environment, cross-cluster or cross-cloud, to avoid reinfection and meet your recovery-time targets.
CloudCasa offers a “3 nines” (99.9%) service uptime SLA for paid subscriptions, subject to certain exclusions. See our Service Level Agreement for more details.
CloudCasa is primarily a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering, but a full-featured self-hosted version is also available for enterprises, service providers, and other organizations that require it for data sovereignty or regulatory reasons.
CloudCasa stores immutable, SafeLock-protected backups in logically air-gapped cloud storage, encrypted in transit and at rest. Because backups sit in a separate management domain and can't be altered or deleted during retention, they remain recoverable even if your production cluster or credentials are compromised.
Yes. CloudCasa restores namespaces, applications, persistent volumes, or entire clusters to a clean or newly built cluster, including cross-cluster, cross-region, and cross-cloud, so you can recover without reinfecting workloads.
Yes. CloudCasa supports immutable backups to protect Kubernetes data from ransomware, accidental deletion, and unauthorized changes, and can store copies in a separate cloud or region for air-gapped protection.
Both. CloudCasa is available as a SaaS platform and as a self-hosted deployment, giving organizations flexibility to meet data sovereignty, security, and regulatory requirements.
