In theory yes, we need to implement support for more remotes. Please open a GitHub issue so we can take care.

K8up currently is optimized for PVs and will probably be able to backup objects in the future. It's not meant for cluster disaster recovery or full-cluster backup. (Deployment artefacts should anyways come from GitOps)

Stash was an inspiration for K8up. Unlike Stash, K8up is non-intrusive and doesn't add additional containers to Pods. It runs as k8s jobs besides the application Pods.

* K8up uses Restic, k8s-snapshots Tarsnap

* K8up doesn't do snapshots but file-based backups supporting any RWX storage and to some extend RWO (still to be improved)

* K8up can do pre-backup tasks like dumping a database to have application consistent backups

* K8up has a great amount of monitoring backed in for providing a good overview via Prometheus if the backups really work

* K8up can send webhooks about backups available to allow integrations into third party control panels. F.e. Lagoon[1] uses it

It's an alternative, in the making since over a year and used in production. It focuses on Restic since the beginning.
