velero plugin maintenance

[aasseman]

Is openebs/velero-plugin still maintained? I see it's been still for 2 years.

The main issue with this is that the docs are pointing to using velero for backups: https://github.com/openebs/zfs-localpv/blob/develop/docs/backup-restore.md. Perhaps retiring it officially would avoid new users struggling to make it work.

In particular I'm experiencing openebs/velero-plugin#185, but I don't see the point in posting an issue there since nobody seems to be looking at it.

I note that the OpenEBS ROADMAP.md shows openebs/velero-plugin under heading "Repos to be DEPRECATED and ARCHIVED"

My understanding is that velero-plugin was originally built for the legacy cStor engine which is being deprecated. I would be a shame if it is not kept for zfs-localpv.

@ianb-mp The openebs/velero-plugin will be maintained only with the scope for zfs localpv. The cstor support would be removed going forward as cstor is deprecated. cc @avishnu @dave-brace
