Trilio for Kubernetes: Backup and Disaster Recovery

Native Kubernetes Data Protection Recovery in Minutes

Trilio for Kubernetes provides scalable, agentless Kubernetes backup and disaster recovery for cloud-native applications on OpenShift and Kubernetes. With 80% faster recovery times, seamless migration, and granular recovery, Trilio helps businesses in financial services, telecom, and tech to minimize downtime, future-proof their infrastructure, and meet compliance needs in highly regulated environments.

Why Trilio for Kubernetes for Container & Virtual Machine Backups

Virtual Machines Recovery in Minutes with 40x Faster RTO

Recover Kubernetes containers and KubeVirt virtual machines in two to three minutes, about 40x faster when compared to recovery without the Trilio-patented Continuous Restore feature. Continuous Restore eliminates hours of downtime and reduces the financial impact of outages—especially critical in industries like financial services and telecom.

Recovery of Individual Files and Folders, Saving Time and Bandwidth

Most backup solutions require you to recover entire virtual machines, which can take hours and days – especially over slow connections. Trilio for Kubernetes enables you to recover individual files and folders, saving time and bandwidth. Simply mount the backup as a virtual disk and copy over the files and folders you need.

Seamless Integration and Migration Across Platforms

Trilio integrates natively with OpenShift and other Kubernetes distributions as well as OpenShift Virtualization and other KubeVirt distributions, supporting backup, migration, and recovery across clusters. You can easily move between environments or restore data on any infrastructure—from on-premises to hyperscalers—ensuring business continuity in regulated industries where platform flexibility is key.

Future-proof Data Compliance with Industry-Standard Formats

Trilio uses industry-standard formats like QCOW2 and JSON to ensure your backups remain accessible on any platform. This guarantees long-term compliance without locking you into proprietary systems—an essential feature for highly regulated sectors.

Self-service, Agentless Backup and Restore

Trilio’s agentless solution integrates with native Kubernetes RBAC, enabling self-service backups without waiting for a response to an IT ticket. For advanced VM workloads, such as databases, optional agents provide features like application consistency and more granular control, meeting the demands of complex tech environments.

Backup Automation Reduces Operational Burden

Automate backup and recovery with Trilio’s certified Kubernetes Ansible role and ready-to-use Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (ACM) policies. Ensure consistent backups for stateful applications like databases using hooks or read-only states during backups, minimizing data integrity risks. This reduces operational overhead while ensuring governance, particularly for financial and telecom environments.

Comprehensive Protection for Kubernetes Operators and Helm Apps

Trilio backs up custom, OLM, and third-party Kubernetes Operators, as well as Helm applications. This offers granular control over releases and configurations for easy rollbacks, migrations, and restores—ideal for highly customized tech and telecom setups.

Ransomware Protection with Immutable Backups

Backups are only effective against ransomware if they are not affected themselves. That’s why Trilio for Kubernetes creates immutable backups that cannot be overwritten, even by ransomware. When these cold backups are stored in an AWS S3 bucket, credentials are all you need to recover your workloads to anywhere in the world – and you’re up and running again.

Secure, scalable backup for hybrid and multi-cloud environments

Trilio supports secure backups across NFS, S3, and container blob storage, making it ideal for hybrid and multi-cloud setups. Its architecture allows you to easily scale your backup infrastructure by adding workloads as needed, ensuring flexibility for even the largest environments. Trilio also ensures compliance and security in air-gapped and highly regulated industries like finance and telecom, with incremental forever backups to minimize storage use and avoid data duplication.

Data Protection For all Kubernetes Distributions

Trilio is designed to backup and restore applications and VMs deployed on all Kubernetes distributions, on-premises or public cloud
