We need to provide guidance for users how they can backup vcluster and its workloads correctly. We might even need to implement some "rewriting" mechanism for important host paths to support common backup solutions like velero. This requires further investigation.

Related to #193 There I mentioned that Kasten is one interesting option because it supports restoring to environment which uses different CSI plugin than original source. Or that is at least what my old colleague who works on Veeam nowadays was saying. One quite common use case on their customers environment is taking backups from on-prem and do DR testing on AKS/GCE.

However I haven't had time to test it my self yet.

@olljanat that makes sense, thanks for the info! I guess we'll probably need to evaluate several solutions and check what is the easiest to use with vcluster.

@FabianKramm would you say this is addressed now that the #694 and #785 are merged?
