Nowadays, thinking about backups in terms of redundancy alone is old-fashioned. Along with the ‘what’ and ‘how’ approach, it’s vital to ask ‘where’. And it’s not a matter of GDPR or HIPAA requirements. Knowing about your backup location(s) can be a factor that distinguishes between mere compliance and a catastrophe.

Losing a MySQL database without a backup means losing customer records, transactions, and your business’s good reputation. Whether you’re running a single application or managing containerized workloads, you need a backup strategy that works when disaster strikes.

Backup windows that stretch into business hours create real problems for IT teams. Synthetic backup fixes the problem by letting teams reconstruct complete backup sets without touching production systems. The process combines your last full backup with incremental changes, creating a fresh full backup entirely offline. This approach cuts backup windows by 60-80% compared to traditional methods.

Running Kubernetes on VMware Tanzu gives you flexibility, scalability, and strong enterprise integration. But when it comes to protecting applications and data, many teams still rely on traditional VM backups. At first glance, it seems logical: if you back up the VM that hosts your cluster, you should be safe. Unfortunately, that’s a dangerous assumption. VM backups capture the virtual machine state—but they don’t understand Kubernetes.
