Hi, 

I have installed and configured kasten 7.0.13 and have volumesnapshotclasses for ceph-block and ceph-filesystem. They are working fine. I also have to storageclasses (without volumesnapshotclasses) one for smb and one for nfs to my storage. I want to exclude PVCs with something like an annotation. I know there is the label option, but the annotation one would be more handy in helm charts for example. 

Is there a way I cant find in the docs at the moment? Or will k10 ignore the pvcs because it hasnt volumesnapshotclasses with the k10 annotation? 

Thanks a lot!

Best regards

@Madi.Cristil @safiya - need to move this one to Kubernetes board for better assistance.


Kasten K10 does not natively support excluding PVCs based on annotations. It typically uses labels for exclusion in backup policies. You can use annotations in Helm charts for managing PVCs but Kasten K10 requires VolumeSnapshotClasses for snapshot operations, and PVCs without them will be ignored. To achieve annotation-based exclusion, you may need to automate or create custom backup policies that filter based on annotations. If annotations are essential for your use case, consider using labels as a workaround or consult Kasten support for further options.
