As a relative newcomer to k8s I was a bit surprised at the lack of backup tools available, coming from the world of on-prem Veeam which had more features than I knew what to do with. In my current role we had to find a way to back up our Postgres DBs running on k8s. We started using Kanister to actually take the backups but found there wasn't much around to actually manage the backups' lifecycle. I ended up writing Taweret (https://github.com/swissDataScienceCenter/taweret), a small tool which just ends up interacting with the Kanister CRDs to delete backups we no longer require based on a defined backups strategy.
