Discussion Topics
[nrb] Deletion plugins?
Would we want to take this opportunity to also do pre-backup plugins to? I don’t have a use case right now, more asking because it’s an opportunity to do so
Next steps: Design doc
Use labels, not configmap
[nrb] Restore hooks design should be close to merging. Maintainers, please take another pass!
[duffie] Linters for Velero, possibly also image handling
Problem: How much object storage did a given backup consume?
Is there a way to know differential size from the previous snapshot?
This would help to prune object storage
Restic does deduplication; if I have 10 backups and I delete backup 6, how much do I get back?
Could we add a field to progress to tell report this?
