Your backup tool doesn't validate restores. Kymaros does.
Velero, Kasten, and TrilioVault are excellent backup tools. But none of them test whether a restore actually produces a working application. That's the gap Kymaros fills.

Kymaros is not a replacement for your backup tool. It's the validation layer that sits on top. Use alongside Velero, Kasten, or TrilioVault.
Kymaros + Velero
FreeVelero handles your backups. Kymaros validates they restore correctly. The native integration triggers a Velero restore into an isolated sandbox, runs your health checks, and produces a scored RestoreReport.
