StorageRepository

A StorageRepository API resource is used to represent how Veeam Kasten backup data is stored at a particular location (represented by a Profile<api_profile>). Veeam Kasten will distribute backup data generated by a Policy<api_policy> run into one or more repositories, based on data type and deduplication domain.

The API gives the user an insight into the status of these repositories, and provides a means of performing maintenance and management actions on them.

List StorageRepositories Example

The following example illustrates listing all StorageRepositories created by a policy backing up two applications, each with PVCs.

# list storage repositories
$ kubectl get storagerepositories.repositories.kio.kasten.io --namespace kasten-io
NAME                                     LOCATIONTYPE
kopia-volumedata-repository-zcfk68hdht   ObjectStore
kopia-volumedata-repository-hkpjmr2w6d   ObjectStore
kopia-metadata-repository-2bgqbcf724     ObjectStore

Get StorageRepositories Details Example

In addition to getting a StorageRepository, you can also query the details associated with the restore point. You would use the details sub-resource for that purpose.

# get the details for storagerepository 'kopia-metadata-repository-2bgqbcf724' in the 'kasten-io' namespace.
# yq only used for readability
$ kubectl get --raw /apis/repositories.kio.kasten.io/v1alpha1/namespaces/kasten-io/storagerepositories/kopia-metadata-repository-2bgqbcf724/details | yq -y .status.details
kopiaMeta:
  ...

Modify StorageRepository Background Maintenance Behavior

Veeam Kasten will periodically run maintenance on the StorageRepositories it creates. Among other tasks, the maintenance process tidies up unused data, detects inconsistent states, and measures the overall storage usage over time. This behavior can be disabled on a per-repository basis by modifying the spec.disableMaintenance field. Additionally, the background operations performed on the repository will, by default, have a 10-hour timeout. The timeout can be customized as needed by setting the spec.backgroundProcessTimeout field.

# disable maintenance for storagerepository
# 'kopia-metadata-repository-2bgqbcf724' in the 'kasten-io' namespace.
$ kubectl patch storagerepository kopia-metadata-repository-2bgqbcf724 -n kasten-io \
 --type merge \
 --patch $'spec:\n  disableMaintenance: true'

# set the timeout for any background processes working on storagerepository
# 'kopia-metadata-repository-2bgqbcf724' in the 'kasten-io' namespace.
$ kubectl patch storagerepository kopia-metadata-repository-2bgqbcf724 -n kasten-io \
 --type merge \
 --patch $'spec:\n  backgroundProcessTimeout: 1h'

# restore the 10h default timeout for background processes working on storagerepository
# 'kopia-metadata-repository-2bgqbcf724' in the 'kasten-io' namespace.
$ kubectl patch storagerepository kopia-metadata-repository-2bgqbcf724 -n kasten-io \
 --type merge \
 --patch $'spec:\n  backgroundProcessTimeout: null'

Delete StorageRepository Example

StorageRepository API resources can be deleted. Functionally, this only serves to clean up the API representation; no backup data will be deleted, and Veeam Kasten still tracks the associated repository data internally. After deletion, if the repository is used again (e.g., by creating a new backup), the StorageRepository API representation will be recreated.

# delete storage repository 'kopia-metadata-repository-cq6qrfd4vm' in namespace 'kasten-io'
$ kubectl delete storagerepository kopia-metadata-repository-cq6qrfd4vm --namespace kasten-io
storagerepository.repositories.kio.kasten.io "kopia-metadata-repository-cq6qrfd4vm" deleted
