Kasten and EDB have worked on a partnership so that you can protect and migrate your EDB database using Kasten.

This will let you execute disaster recovery and migration scenario of enterprise database in just few clicks.
When disaster strikes no need to say that panic also and any restore operation becomes stressful and error prone. Being able to automate entirely your restore operation is the key. Not only it speeds up your action and allow parrallelisation it also gives you a real measure of your RTO.

To create crash consistent backup you need snapshot. Out of the box the csi ebs driver support snapshot, let's see how we can install it on eks.
