Kumanda¶

Kumanda is a backup solution for kubernetes based on the Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (AMANDA).

AMANDA is a a backup solution for backing up many clients connected by a network to a single backup host. The backup host provides
a tape drive, tape library, or a virtual tape library based on hard-disks or even S3 buckets. Incremental and full backups are supported by
AMANDA and its dumping algorithm tries to optimize backup time over a predefined time range.

Kumanda provides

• a container image for running the AMANDA backup client
• a container image for running the AMANDA backup server
• and in the future a kubernetes operator to automatically instantiate backup clients and servers throughout the cluster

For whom is this helpful¶

• If you want file level control of the backup of your Physical Volume Claims, Volume Mounts
• If you are running a bare-metal kubernetes cluster with and without a dedicated storage solution
