This blog posts covers using Kasten by Veeam to create backup policies for data protection, and how to restore your data. This blog post follows on from the two installation guides;

• Installing and configuring Kasten to protect container workloads on VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid
• How to install and configure Kasten to protect container workloads on Red Hat OpenShift and VMware vSphere

Deploying a PacMan browser game as test application

To provide a demo mission critical application for this blog post, I’ve deployed PacMan into my OpenShift cluster, which is accessible via a web browser to play. You can find the files from this GitHub repo to deploy into your own environment.

This application uses MongoDB to store the scores from the games to give me persistent data stored on a PVC.

You can see all of the PacMan resources below by running:

kubectl get all -n pacman

Creating a Policy to protect your deployment and data

On the Kasten dashboard, click the Policy tile (or new policy link within the tile).
