{oadp-short} includes a built-in Data Mover that you can use to move Container Storage Interface (CSI) volume snapshots to a remote object store. The built-in Data Mover allows you to restore stateful applications from the remote object store if a failure, accidental deletion, or corruption of the cluster occurs. It uses xref:../../../backup_and_restore/application_backup_and_restore/backing_up_and_restoring/oadp-about-kopia.adoc#oadp-about-kopia[Kopia] as the uploader mechanism to read the snapshot data and write to the unified repository.

== Data Mover support

The {oadp-short} built-in Data Mover, which was introduced in {oadp-short} 1.3 as a Technology Preview, is now fully supported for both containerized and virtual machine workloads.
====

.Supported

The Data Mover backups taken with {oadp-short} 1.3 can be restored using {oadp-short} 1.3, 1.4, and later. This is supported.

.Not supported

Backups taken with {oadp-short} 1.1 or {oadp-short} 1.2 using the Data Mover feature cannot be restored using {oadp-short} 1.3 and later. Therefore, it is not supported.

{oadp-short} 1.1 and {oadp-short} 1.2 are no longer supported. The DataMover feature in {oadp-short} 1.1 or {oadp-short} 1.2 was a Technology Preview and was never supported. DataMover backups taken with {oadp-short} 1.1 or {oadp-short} 1.2 cannot be restored on later versions of {oadp-short}.
