Why VM Backups Are Not Enough in Tanzu

Running Kubernetes on VMware Tanzu gives you flexibility, scalability, and strong enterprise integration. But when it comes to protecting applications and data, many teams still rely on traditional VM backups. At first glance, it seems logical: if you back up the VM that hosts your cluster, you should be safe. Unfortunately, that’s a dangerous assumption. VM backups capture the virtual machine state—but they don’t understand Kubernetes.

Recovering Tanzu Kubernetes Clusters After VM Loss: Step-by-Step Guide

When a VM hosting your Tanzu Kubernetes cluster crashes, your recovery strategy can make or break application availability. Traditional VM backups often miss Kubernetes-specific data, leading to incomplete or inconsistent restores. This guide walks you through a reliable recovery process using CloudCasa, ensuring you restore both infrastructure and application state with confidence.

VM Backup Gets Cloud-Native: How Spectro Cloud and CloudCasa Make It Actually Work

For years, backing up virtual machines has been a necessary evil — a dull, repetitive chore hidden deep inside IT maintenance schedules. It’s the sort of thing that keeps enterprise workloads safe but rarely excites anyone. You’d spin up VMs, configure snapshots, cross your fingers before a restore, and hope that your “incremental forever” backup didn’t quietly break somewhere along the way. But lately, something has started to shift.

Enhancing Disaster Recovery for Red Hat OpenShift with CloudCasa and Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA)

Building resilient infrastructure is a must for modern organizations operating across hybrid environments. As applications move between on-premises and the cloud, ensuring data protection and continuity becomes a key priority. Red Hat OpenShift offers a consistent platform for running containerized and virtualized workloads across hybrid environments.

CloudCasa Now Supports NFS Backup Targets - More Flexibility for Kubernetes Environments

CloudCasa for Kubernetes just got more versatile. In addition to object storage targets such as Amazon S3, Azure Blob, and other S3-compatible platforms, CloudCasa now supports NFS (Network File System) as a backup destination. This enhancement gives organizations even greater flexibility when choosing how and where to store their Kubernetes backups — whether in the cloud, on-premises, or both.

CloudCasa Simplifies File-Level Recovery for Virtual Machines in Kubernetes

As Kubernetes adoption accelerates, more organizations are running virtual machines (VMs) inside Kubernetes using platforms like OpenShift Virtualization, SUSE Virtualization, KubeVirt, Mirantis k0rdent Virtualization, and Spectro Cloud VMO. This hybrid approach consolidates container and VM workloads on a single infrastructure, improving flexibility—but it also introduces new challenges for backup and recovery.

CloudCasa and SUSE Storage: A Cost-Effective Disaster Recovery Solution for Kubernetes and SUSE Virtualization

CloudCasa by Catalogic and SUSE have partnered to deliver a new disaster recovery solution for Kubernetes and SUSE Virtualization environments. This joint approach combines CloudCasa’s Kubernetes-native backup and recovery platform with SUSE Storage (a.k.a. Longhorn) and its Disaster Recovery Volumes feature. This provides a resilient, storage-driven DR strategy that reduces cost, complexity, and recovery times.

VM Backup & Restore on Spectro Cloud | Live Demo for Kubernetes & KubeVirt

Watch a step-by-step live demo of how to back up and restore KubeVirt-based VMs using CloudCasa on Spectro Cloud. This walkthrough covers: Multi-tenant access VM backup workflow with CSI & non-CSI storage Policy-based scheduling & snapshot safe lock Full VM restore with namespace transform Post-restore actions and validation in Palette UI Whether you're running VMs on-prem and migrating to the cloud or need robust Kubernetes backup & disaster recovery, this demo shows you how to do it the cloud-native way.

Kubernetes backup & recovery deep dive: DR and VM protection with Spectro Cloud Palette & CloudCasa

Hands-on deep dive into building rock-solid resilience for modern Kubernetes environments. We’ll start with the must-know foundations of Kubernetes backup, disaster recovery and compliance, then explore real-world pitfalls that simple snapshots or open-source Velero can miss. You’ll learn how deploying CloudCasa through Spectro Cloud Palette delivers enterprise-grade, policy-driven protection across multicluster environments. Next, we’ll tackle an emerging challenge: safeguarding virtual-machine workloads running on Kubernetes through KubeVirt solutions like Palette VMO.

How to Bring Back Rancher Projects with CloudCasa

If you’ve ever worked with Rancher projects, you know they’re a handy way to group namespaces, manage RBAC, and keep your Kubernetes world a little less chaotic. But what happens if a project or its namespaces vanish? That’s where CloudCasa comes in. It makes restoring Rancher projects and their workloads surprisingly simple. Let’s break it down into the three main situations you might run into.
