PowerProtect Data Manager 19.17 Kubernetes User Guide

Perform application-consistent backups

After you deploy application templates, the agentless nature of the backups means that no special steps are required to perform an application-consistent database backup.

The PowerProtect Data Manager infrastructure detects the presence of a deployed template and follows the template instructions when backing up the namespace to which the database application belongs.

Add a protection policy for Kubernetes namespace protection provides more information about configuring protection policies for Kubernetes namespace protection.

For example, you can perform a manual backup of the Kubernetes protection policy and then verify that the resulting backup is application-consistent.
