Data backup in container management frameworks

A cluster protection system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising, at least:
• identifying a target cluster or an object in a container management framework;
• identifying application data and metadata associated with the target cluster or the object;
• generating a first snapshot of the target cluster or the object, the first snapshot including at least the metadata;
• storing the first snapshot in offsite cloud storage;
• generating a second snapshot of the target cluster, the second snapshot including at least the application data;
• and
• storing the second snapshot in a persistent volume in onsite storage.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions which, when read by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising, at least:

• identifying a target cluster or an object in a container management framework;
• identifying application data and metadata associated with the target cluster or the object;
• generating a first snapshot of the target cluster or the object, the first snapshot including at least the metadata;
• storing the first snapshot in offsite cloud storage;
• generating a second snapshot of the target cluster, the second snapshot including at least the application data;
• and
• storing the second snapshot in a persistent volume in onsite storage.
