# Kumanda 

 Kumanda is a backup solution for **kubernetes** based on the [Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (AMANDA)](https://amanda.org). 

 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
