The OpenShift API for Data Protection (OADP) product safeguards customer applications on OKD. It offers comprehensive disaster recovery protection, covering OKD applications, application-related cluster resources, persistent volumes, and internal images. OADP is also capable of backing up both containerized applications and virtual machines (VMs).
