Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

Veeam Kasten Disaster Recovery is a Kubernetes-native platform for backing up, restoring, migrating, and recovering cloud-native applications. It is designed for operations and application teams managing Kubernetes clusters across public, private, hybrid-cloud, and on-premises environments. Coverage includes Kubernetes resources, persistent storage, Helm v3 release information, KubeVirt virtual machines, relational and NoSQL databases, and supported VM-based applications. Its recovery toolkit includes scheduled snapshot and export policies, cross-cluster and cross-cloud migration, orchestrated failover workflows, catalog recovery, and immutable object-storage backups.

The published plans show a free Starter edition for evaluation or small non-production clusters, with limitations in support and scale. A 60-day Enterprise Trial adds VM and containerized application protection, an intuitive GUI, and on-premises, cloud, and edge deployment. Veeam Kasten for Modern Virtualization protects VM-based applications and data on Kubernetes and can be upgraded to Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes. Enterprise adds Kubernetes-native data protection and application mobility, no stated node limit, and customer support. Enterprise pricing follows a contact-sales, node-based model.

Platform fit is a central strength. Integrations cover AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Red Hat OpenShift, SUSE Virtualization, VMware vSphere, KubeVirt, Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam Vault, S3-compatible object storage, and NFS/SMB. Native Kubernetes API access and a web dashboard support cluster-oriented operations, while automatic dependency discovery and database integrations help coordinate application-consistent protection. Choose Veeam Kasten when Kubernetes, modern virtualization, migration, and orchestrated recovery are priorities. Teams seeking broad general-purpose server disaster recovery should consider a product with wider non-Kubernetes workload coverage.
