Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe: Velero(kubervirt-velero plugin) backups of ocp vm fail when pvc/datavolume is excluded from backups. Backup applications with own data mover prefer to use velero for metadata backup and backup/restore pvc/datavolume on its own. Currently kubevirt-velero plugin fails velero backup when pvc is excluded from backup: https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt-velero-plugin/blob/main/pkg/util/util.go

Describe the solution you'd like: Request is to allow successful velero/kubevirt-velero backup when pvc/datavolume is excluded (ex-using some EXTERNAL_DM env variable or any other configurable approach)

Describe alternatives you've considered: It will be great if you have any workaround for current behavior.
