Are CSI volumeSnapshots possible? How to install the CRDs for volumesnapshots, volumesnapshotclasses and volumesnapshotcontents?

HI all,

I am currently evaluation Velero as a backup tool for my K3s cluster. Most of my clusters have the local-path-provisioner as the only storageClass.

I found an old issue (#81) regarding the support of VolumeSnapshots in the local-path-provisioner. But as it is 4 years old I wanted to check if this feature is supported in the meantime? (My guess is no...)

Kind Regards,
Johannes

I have the same problem, I need volumeSnapshots to make sure the backup mechanism is working properly during local verification of my own platform.

Does no one know this?

Per second bullet in this doc VolumeSnapshot only works for CSI drivers, and rancher local-path is not a CSI driver.

For my homelab I think I'm just going to set up a cronjob to do a file copy...
