Feature Request (GCNV volume) (K8s): Option to add backup policy and snapshot policy in trident backend for GCNV volume

[navilg]

Describe the solution you'd like Currently when trident creates GCNV volume for every PVC, We need to go to each GCNV volume and attache the volume to backup policy or create snapshot policies in all GCNV vaolume manually.

Since PVs are dynamic in Kubernetes with trident, Its administrative overhead to attach backup policies and snapshot policies in each PVs/GCNV volume.

If there is a away to add backup policy in trident backend itself or may be storage class parameters, which will automatically add backup policy to all the GCNV volume created dynamically by trident, That will be very helpful.

@navilg Thank you for this suggestion. While we consider that, would you be able to use Trident Protect for your PVCs and applications?

Thanks @clintonk . I am exploring trident protect. But this feature would be very helpful in Trident so that we do not need any additional workload on cluster to backup. Do trident protect support GCNV snapshot and backup for flex volume created through trident ?
