backup with pv and pvc

I think the issue is that your csi  storageclass that supports snapshots is Storage Classes: csi-hostpath-sc but the workload that you are trying to snapshot is using “- name: storageClassName value: local-path-kasten”

If this is k3s then the local-path sc does not support snapshotting. So your application should be using the csi-hostpath-sc and then you should be able to snapshot without issues.

when i use pod with volume class csi-hostpath-sc i get this error

Can you try creating a snapshot outside of Kasten.  https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volume-snapshots/

 created without errors

Hello,

A CSI driver that has Volume Snapshot support. Please look at the list of CSI drivers to confirm snapshot support.

Thank you,
