[feat request] zfs snapshots

[jr0dd]

I've been digging through all your documentation and not finding an answer. What I was hoping to achieve was having the velero plugin take a zfs snapshot when it backs up to minio. Even better if the plugin cleared them out according to the ttl in the schedule. This is just to able to do a quick rollback if needed. Attaching the snapshot and backup locations I'm currently using.

The plugin already does that, it takes the snapshot of the volume and sends that to configured backup location. See if this doc is helpful https://github.com/openebs/zfs-localpv/blob/develop/docs/backup-restore.md

Thanks. That’s where I gathered most of my information for the yaml’s. I’m trying to just take regular zfs snapshots and not send them anywhere as well as sending to minio for disaster recovery. I can schedule zfs snapshots of the parent dataset that the pvc’s are on through the underlying os, but figured velero and the plug-in would handle things more gracefully.

yeah you can mention me wherever you please. I will create a new issue as a feature request, since it won't let me change the label.
