Continuous Restore

Continuous Restore is a T4K feature that automatically stages backups to a remote cluster as soon as each new backup is available. Backups from the source cluster are created as snapshots on the target cluster, so in the event of a disaster, applications can be recovered quickly from those pre-staged snapshots. Users can also run regular restore tests to build confidence in their DR plan.

The feature is implemented as a cloud-native service designed for multi-cluster and multi-cloud environments. It supports a fabric topology where any application in any Kubernetes cluster can designate any other cluster as a restore site, with no assumptions about network connectivity between clusters. The only requirement is that the backup target is shared and accessible between the source and target clusters.
