Hi everyone,

I am using OVH Cloud Dedicated Server (bare metal) and running a Kubernetes cluster version 1.26.3 on top of it.
Do you know if it is possible to create VolumeSnaphot when having PersistentVolume created with spec.hostPath, like this one below:

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: datadir-mongodb-accounts-prod-1
  labels:
    name: datadir-mongodb-accounts-prod-1
    type: local
  annotations:
    pv.kubernetes.io/bound-by-controller: 'yes'
  finalizers:
    - kubernetes.io/pv-protection
spec:
  capacity:
    storage: 100Gi
  hostPath:
    path: /mongodb/datadir-mongodb-accounts-prod-1
    type: DirectoryOrCreate
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce

I was wondering if I could have it and store the snapshot content on an AWS S3 bucket.

Thanks.
