Features of NetBackup support for Kubernetes

Table: NetBackup for Kubernetes

Feature	Description
Integration with NetBackup role-based access control (RBAC)	The NetBackup web UI provides RBAC roles to control which NetBackup users can manage Kubernetes operations in NetBackup. The user does not need to be a NetBackup administrator to manage Kubernetes operations.
Licensing	Capacity-based licensing.
Protection plans	The following benefits are included: Use a single protection plan to protect multiple Kubernetes namespaces. The assets can be spread over multiple clusters. You are not required to know the Kubernetes commands to protect the Kubernetes assets.
Intelligent management of Kubernetes assets	NetBackup automatically discovers the namespaces, persistent volumes, persistent volume claims, and so on, in the Kubernetes clusters. You can also perform manual discovery. After the assets are discovered, the Kubernetes workload administrator can select one or more protection plans to protect them.
Kubernetes specific credentials	Kubernetes service accounts used to authenticate and manage the clusters.
Discovery Full discovery Incremental discovery	Discovery using Discovery now option is always a full discovery. Discovery when a new cluster is added to the NetBackup is always a full discovery.  Once the Kubernetes cluster is added, auto discovery cycle is triggered to discover all the assets available on the Kubernetes cluster. The first auto discovery of the day is a full discovery and subsequent auto discoveries are incremental.
Backup features Snapshot only backups Backup from snapshot	The following features are available for backup: Backups are managed entirely by the NetBackup server from a central location. Administrators can schedule automatic, unattended backups for namespaces on different Kubernetes clusters. The NetBackup web UI supports backup and restore of namespaces from one interface. Backup schedule configuration for full backups. Manual backups and snapshot only backups. Resource throttling for each cluster to improve the performance of backups. NetBackup can perform backups of Kubernetes namespaces with snapshot methodology, achieving faster recovery time objectives.
Restore features Restore from snapshot Restore from backup copy	The following features are available for restore: Restore Kubernetes namespaces and persistent volumes to different locations. Restore to a different Kubernetes cluster flavor using restore from a backup copy.
