Instead of Afi Kubernetes Backup
Afi Kubernetes Backup alternatives
Afi Kubernetes Backup automates protection for distributed Kubernetes applications, covering cluster data such as etcd, namespace metadata, dependencies, infrastructure configurations, persistent volumes, and databases. It can restore or replicate complete clusters or selected components across environments, with full-text backup search, automatic resource discovery, scheduled application-consistent backups, unlimited retention, and cross-cluster recovery. Cloud-hosted, on-premises-only, and hybrid deployment options support air-gapped setups, while custom roles, identity integrations, selectable storage residency, and security monitoring address administration and protection needs.

An alternative may fit better when Afi’s paid starting point of $140 per protected node monthly, plus optional storage charges, is unsuitable. Its API, self-hosted, and web access may also differ from your preferred setup. Consider whether you need open-source tooling, a managed Kubernetes platform, protection for computers or virtual machines, multi-cloud disaster recovery, different storage compatibility, or broader workload coverage. Compare node management, deployment effort, policy control, recovery scope, platform support, and available support before changing products.
