Container backup support
Container Backup Support is a feature of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus that extends data protection to containers in Kubernetes or OpenShift clusters. Before you can back up and restore persistent volumes that are attached to your containers, you must install and deploy Kubernetes or OpenShift backup support images.Image Name Passport Advantage Part Number Installation Environment Comment IBM Spectrum Protect Plus V10.1.8 Agent for Kubernetes and OpenShift, English G00MHZX Linux Install Kubernetes and OpenShift backup support application. Image Name Passport Advantage Part Number Installation Environment Comment IBM Spectrum Protect Plus V10.1.8.1 Agent for Kubernetes and OpenShift, English G01QMML Linux Install Kubernetes and OpenShift backup support application.
You can install Container Backup Support in an air gap cluster by using the installation package from IBM Passport Advantage Online. An air gap cluster is any Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster that does not have internet access, and therefore cannot pull container images from a Docker registry. The air gap installation package includes the container images for Container Backup Support. During the installation, the container images are loaded by the docker load command and then tagged and pushed to the Docker registry that is specified in the baas-options.sh file. As a result, the container images can be pulled during the Helm installation. For instructions on downloading and installing the package from IBM Passport Advantage, see Installing Container Backup Support in an air gap environment

Images on IBM Helm Chart Repository by using IBM Entitled Registry
- Container backup support image
Container Backup Support is a feature of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus that extends data protection to containers in Kubernetes or OpenShift clusters.
You can download and install Container Backup Support from the IBM Helm Charts Repository by using IBM Entitled Registry. This is a fast and convenient deployment option for Kubernetes or OpenShift clusters that have internet access. The Helm package is smaller in size and therefore takes less time to download. Internet access is required to pull containers at deployment time.
