No Backup Gap: Introducing Veeam Data Platform-Native OpenShift Protection
Veeam, Tuesday, September 8th, 2026
Native OpenShift Virtualization protection closes the coverage gap that opens during VMware migrations.
Veeam Data Platform v13.1 and later now natively protect Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization VMs.
The specific problem addressed is the coverage gap during VMware to OpenShift migration, where a VM leaves the protected source environment before the destination is covered, sometimes for weeks.
The solution automatically discovers newly migrated VMs and applies existing protection policies.
Cross-hypervisor mobility also allows recovery onto a different platform than the source, which is useful during migrations and as a contingency if the target platform proves unsuitable.
