Is there a way to use velero to backup the cluster and volumes to local filesystem instead of cloud?

Hi,

I am using Velero to back up my k3s cluster to AWS s3. I love the simplicity Velcro provides in terms of creating backups and restoring them.
Due to some requirements, I now want to back up my cluster and the pod volumes to the local filesystem instead of S3. Is it possible to do this? If yes then how?

Thank you.

@SarthakNarayan Unfortunately, Velero as of now only supports object storage as a backup storage location target.

@SarthakNarayan There do exist some workarounds such as running MinIO locally on top of the file system, if that is an option. Or you may want to consider this plug-in:

Note that the plug-in is not officially maintained by Velero maintainers.
