VolumeSnapshot support for Backup solutions

[hornjo]

TL;DR

Nowadays most csi-drivers are supporting VolumeSnapeshots as of this list: https://kubernetes-csi.github.io/docs/drivers.html In order to have an independent backup solution of kubernetes clusters running on hetzner this support would be required.

Expected behavior

The csi-driver should be capable of creating VolumeSnapshots an should be used in VolumeSnapshotClasses.

Hey,

VolumeSnapshots are currently not supported by the Hetzner Cloud API. I have added your feedback to our internal tracking tool.

Best Regards, Lukas

I also aim to use velero to backup hetzner-csi with snapshotting

+1 for velero + CSI use-case

Any updates? Would it be possible to have a workaround to make snapshots only for volumes instead of whole servers?

+1, this is a feature that's basically required for production use!

VolumeSnapshots are still not supported by the Hetzner Cloud API. I have added additional feedback to our internal feedback tool.

Please add Volume Snapshot support to the Hetzner Cloud API !
