(this is a suggestion - not a bug - not sure how I can flag this in github)
Assuming I am using
an external S3 blobstore on vSphere
an external S3 blobstore on AWS
or a NFS blobstore VM otherwise
It could be possible to snapshot the blobstore using S3 native / cloud native / infrastructure level utils (such as snapshoting a VM which would then snapshot its storage using direct instructions to the physical storage system as often the case with VMware)
That would make the blobstore backup possibly faster or aligned with existing infrastructure ops practices.
For cfops to take this into account there would be a need for a some kind of callout script that is still coordinated by cfops, especially with the cloud controller operations.
--external_blobstore_script=myblobstore_backup.sh
(may be dealing with some kind of backup uuid as well as implicit argument)

makes sense?
