Snapshot Support about cloud-director-named-disk-csi-driver HOT 8 OPEN

@jleavers we are looking at this. There is some fundamental support needed from VCD cloud for this.

Hi,

Can we install volume snapshot CRDs manually and use velero or any other backup solutions which uses CSI driver to take snapshots ?

Is this supported method for this CSI driver?

I have tried installing the Snapshot CRDs and Common Snapshot Controller, but Velero still does not work with the EnableCSI feature after that. My assumption is that it won't work because the CSI driver does not have snapshot support.

Instead I am currently using Velero with Restic instead.

Hi Jleavers,

Thanks for the response, even i am using Restic with velero, since we want to use enterprise backup solution and there is no backup solution which works with this driver.

Hope they will adding Snapshot support very soon.

Another solution is Kasten with the addition of a sidecar container, although I have not yet tested this: https://docs.kasten.io/latest/install/generic.html#generic-kanister

@jleavers thanks the suggestion, i will try it.

I have since successfully tested Kasten with the sidecar container used with their GVS driver - works well, although note that at this time the backup destination cannot be an immutable S3 bucket. If the backup storage is immutable, backups will succeed, but restores will fail.
