Keep calm and store your data in OCS
summary
OpenShift Container Storage is an operator-based, software-defined storage stack built on Rook and Ceph that solves three concrete problems: backup via incremental snapshots copied to external object stores (daily/weekly snapshots, integrates with Velero / OADP and vendors like Trilio/IBM), multi-AZ high availability (supports 2‑ or 3‑AZ setups; uses an arbiter monitor for two‑AZ, recommends replica=3 for safety and often five monitors in arbiter mode), and async disaster recovery via rbd snapshot mirroring with configurable intervals, failover and fallback.
