velero VS bupstash

Openshift last I looked used Velero under the covers for the functionality, which works fine in standard kubernetes. Most if not all that Openshift does is Open source.

Valero

velero is also a popular solution to for k8s backup that is 3rd party you might check out.

Logical backups using pre and post hooks thanks to this suggestion https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/2763 working way better than kanister blueprints.

While not discounting OP or the work in this repo (seems like a fun k8s/go project), folks might check out Velero for this purpose if they're looking to rely on this kind of export in prod: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero

Hyper-V itself does not directly support backing up container-based platforms like Kubernetes clusters. To back up a Kubernetes cluster, you would typically use tools that interact with the Kubernetes API to capture the necessary data and metadata for backup purposes. Some of those tools are Velero https://velero.io/ (formerly Heptio Ark), Kasten K10, and Stash.

For Kubernetes-land, https://velero.io/ is awesome - but I haven't used it for online-database backups yet. If you're exploring, I'd checkout Velero - if you just need something to work reliably, I'd checkout Percona.

If you're looking for a backup solution for managed kubernetes, check out Velero. It is great for non-managed kube as well (but you've got other options like etcd backups)

You can also leverage https://velero.io/ to backup both cluster state and pvc state to s3

bupstash supports it, however I didn't try it out

bupstash

I tried a few backup tools and https://github.com/andrewchambers/bupstash is my favorite by far but it's not that well known.

It was pretty fast already and recently got multithread support. It has been the only thing usable for backing up a few TB in a raspberry for performance reasons.

Keep in mind it's relatively new and the author does not yet recommend to use in production as the only backup solution.

bupstash (rust) - https://github.com/andrewchambers/bupstash

The authors bupstash[1] tool looks interesting.

I see there's an issue made for Windows support, how is that with Rust?

Unless it's doing low-level stuff like directory monitoring I assumed Rust would be quite portable?

Benchmarking my backup tool that was written in rust: https://github.com/andrewchambers/bupstash . Rust did not disappoint when it comes to performance, it seems to beat restic by a factor of 2x-200x depending on the benchmark.
