Purpose
Enterprise network backup with director, storage daemon and file agents
Decision Summary
Retained in the CSI open-source backup catalogue for evaluation; not approved until lab testing and restore evidence are complete.
Use Cases
Centralized multi-system backup with controlled repositories, retention and restore jobs.
Field Notes
Legacy CSI reference entry. Validate official release, checksum/signature, licence, supported platforms, encryption, retention, monitoring and restore evidence before approval.
Hardware Requirements
Depends on protected data, change rate, retention, concurrency and restore targets; perform capacity sizing before deployment.
Backup Strategy
Define protected scope, encryption, retention and RPO/RTO; use independent/offsite copy and scheduled restore testing.
Recovery Strategy
Restore to an isolated alternate location first, validate integrity and permissions, then perform controlled production recovery.
Secure Boot Notes
Secure Boot impact is generally indirect; agents, kernels, drivers and recovery media must be validated per platform.
Version History
Present in CSI open-source backup reference documents (July 2026); current release/version verification pending.
