Support hostpath volumes to be backed up and restored by restic in order to running / testing / developing in kind cluster.

[VolkerKozlowski]

Describe the problem/challenge you have
We are running e2e tests inside of a kind cluster. Kind only provides hostpath mounted volumes provisioned by rancher.io/local-path.
Unfortunately velero cannot handle to backup and restore such volumes with restic.

Anything else you would like to add:
[Miscellaneous information that will assist in solving the issue.]

Environment:
Kind kind v0.9.0-alpha
Velero 1.4

This would definitely help for training and home labs using Kind clusters :)

I think this is the same problem as #2767; closing as a duplicate.

Why was this considered as a duplicate of #2767? I believe kind stores pod volumes under /var/lib/kubelet/pods.

It doesn't look like there are any labels or annotations added to nodes that would make it easy to identify as part of a kind cluster; however, it would be easy enough to add something.

I am in the same situation as the OP. We use kind extensively for e2e tests. Not being able to use kind for backup/restore will complicate adoption.

Can this issue be reopened?

@jsanda The current issue as same as issue 2767, is about to support the non-standard pod volume mount path (the standard one is /var/lib/kubelet/pods). If your current issue is the same as these ones, please follow the same doc https://velero.io/docs/main/restic/#:~:text=to%20date%20information.-,Configure,-Restic%20DaemonSet%20spec to solve the problem. Thanks.
