Benefits
Built for Change, Ready to Recover
Whether you run containers, modernize VMs, deploy AI workloads, or all three, Veeam Kasten delivers Kubernetes backup and recovery that keeps applications protected, portable, and secure across hybrid environments. Replace scripts and add-ons with one platform that simplifies operations and speeds recovery.
Recovery
Restore What Matters, Fast
Quickly and reliably restore entire applications, including data, metadata, and configurations. Take the complexity out of recovery so teams can bounce back fast and stay focused on innovation.
Resilience
Resilience You Can Rely On
Defend against ransomware, data loss, and human error with immutable, encrypted backups and policy-driven automation. Built-in service restores empower teams while preventing security gaps.
Portability
Expansive Portability, Minus the Pain
Simplify application mobility across clouds, clusters, and Kubernetes distributions. Enjoy the benefits of frictionless movement to support hybrid strategies and future-proof deployments.
Why Back Up Kubernetes
Containers Move Fast — Stop Data Loss Faster
Kubernetes is the backbone of modern infrastructure. But with agility comes risk, requiring resilience from Day 0 to prevent loss. Without purpose-built protection, recovery is complicated. And costly.
Native Kubernetes objects — ConfigMaps, Secrets and CRDs — are captured alongside volume data
Backing up only the storage or database layer leaves the application unrecoverable
Purpose-built tooling replaces brittle scripts and one-off add-ons

FAQ
Veeam Kasten questions, answered
Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes is an enterprise-grade, Kubernetes-native data protection platform securing modern workloads. It simplifies backup and recovery, disaster recovery, application mobility, ransomware resilience, and modern virtualization through policy-driven automation and an intuitive user experience — at scale, across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Kasten K10 has been renamed Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes. It’s the same leading Kubernetes data protection and application mobility solution, now with a name that reflects its place in the Veeam platform.
Veeam Kasten is integrated with leading Kubernetes distributions, including Amazon EKS, Google GKE, Azure AKS, Red Hat OpenShift, SUSE Rancher, Nutanix Kubernetes Platform, and more. It also supports upstream Kubernetes, relational and NoSQL systems, and various managed services across hybrid and multicloud environments.
Veeam Kasten runs on your Kubernetes cluster in its own namespace. Installation is streamlined via a single Helm command or through Marketplace integrations with Kubernetes platform partners. For air-gapped or private networks, Veeam Kasten supports offline installations.
Veeam Kasten supports file, block, and object storage with a wide array of vendors across on-premises and cloud environments. It interfaces with storage via the Container Storage Interface (CSI) and provides direct integrations for efficient operations.
Yes. Veeam Kasten integrates with Veeam Data Cloud Vault, a fully managed, pre-secured cloud storage service. Veeam Vault removes the complexity of managing infrastructure while delivering predictable costs and built-in security.
Security features include end-to-end encryption, immutable backups, granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and support for multi-tenant environments. Veeam Kasten also provides policy-driven access controls, detailed audit logging, and compliance-ready reporting to support governance and regulatory requirements, and integrates with SIEM systems for real-time threat detection.
Yes. Veeam Kasten extends its Kubernetes-native protection to include virtual machines running in or alongside containerized environments, including integration with Veeam Data Platform for file-level recovery of KubeVirt VMs. It also supports a variety of other targets, including S3, Azure Blob, Veeam Vault, and NFS.
Yes. Veeam Kasten provides a centralized dashboard for managing multiple Kubernetes clusters, allowing for global policy enforcement, real-time status monitoring, and streamlined operations at scale.
Yes — because stateful applications retain critical data that must be protected. Stateless apps can be redeployed without data loss, whereas stateful apps rely on persistent storage such as databases or volumes. Veeam Kasten automatically identifies application components and ensures that stateful data, along with related configurations, is consistently captured and protected.
Veeam Kasten pricing is node-based. A Free version and a 60-day Enterprise Trial covering up to 500 nodes are available for non-production clusters. The full Enterprise Edition is sold on one, three or five year subscriptions through direct, partner or marketplace channels. VMBackupWorks can quote node counts against your clusters.
