Browse a backup target on OpenShift | Trilio for Kubernetes

Nov 6, 2026

Turn on target browsing in Trilio for Kubernetes and look inside a backup target on OpenShift: the backup plans, backups and snapshots it holds.

You will:

  • Enable browsing on an NFS target from the Targets page of the T4K management console
  • See why the copy of the target in the application's namespace needs browsing too
  • Launch the target browser and find the backup plans stored on the target
  • Open a plan's backups and snapshots, and a backup's type and size
  • See the Kubernetes objects and the volumes a backup holds, read from the target
  • Search and filter the target browser
