Azure AKS - backup disk persistent volumes to a storage account (instead as Azure disk Snapshots

[aswalanuj2022]

Describe the problem/challenge you have
This is regarding the AKS environment, we are using Velero backup tool for AKS backups
Query – we have many disk PVs being backed-up as Snapshots via Velero tool, now we are planning to replace/move the disk backups to a storage account (and not as snapshot) as snapshots are hitting the subscription limits and are also costlier than blob storage. End state is to avoid large number of snapshots. Please point to a relevant solution.

Describe the solution you'd like
End state is to avoid large number of snapshots. Store disk PVs backups in blob and not as snapshots . Please point to a relevant solution.

Anything else you would like to add:

Environment:

• Velero version (use velero version): 1.9
• Kubernetes version (use kubectl version): 1.30.1
• Kubernetes installer & version:
• Cloud provider or hardware configuration: Azure
• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): Ubuntu

Use file system backup instead of csi snapshotting then.
