While Velero is a common starting point for Kubernetes backups, it often brings hidden risks, manual overhead, and compliance gaps.

IssProtect for DevOps (powered by Veeam Kasten) delivers the professional alternative your business needs:

• Backup-as-Code: True data mobility to move workloads across clouds effortlessly.

• Compliance Ready: Built for NIS2 and DORA with advanced encryption and immutability.

• Superior Performance: Scalable ephemeral pods architecture that outperforms Velero’s static agents.

• Application Aware: Protects code and data integrity without manual scripts.

Don't wait for disaster to strike. Choose resilience over risk.

Modern DevOps tools like Git, CI/CD pipelines, and Docker repositories can rebuild infrastructure fast, but they can’t restore lost data. In this post, IssTech’s Kubernetes Backup Expert explores real-world “hacks” to show how data loss exposes a massive protection gap. Learn why Backup-as-Code is the only way to ensure rapid, secure recovery after ransomware or total system failure.
