Backup and restore through harvester-csi-driver in guest cluster | Harvester v1.8.0 | New Feature

In Harvester v1.8.0, support for Volume Backup and Restore through the Harvester CSI Driver is added. This video walks you through the end-to-end process of snapshotting, backing up, and restoring volumes across both internal and external RKE2 guest clusters.

Key Scenarios Covered:
- Internal Guest Cluster Restore: How to take a CSI snapshot of an active PVC and restore it to a new PVC within the same guest cluster.
- External Guest Cluster Restore: How to create a VolumeSnapshotContent backup on a secondary cluster (Cluster 2) that points to a VolumeRemoteBackup CR on Harvester from your primary cluster (Cluster 1), allowing for seamless cross-cluster volume restoration.

Webber Huang (https://github.com/webberhuang) walks you through the new feature in this video.

Harvester is a modern, open, interoperable, hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution built on Kubernetes. It is an open-source alternative designed for operators seeking a cloud-native HCI solution. Harvester runs on bare metal servers and provides integrated virtualization and distributed storage capabilities. In addition to traditional virtual machines (VMs), Harvester supports containerized environments automatically through integration with Rancher. It offers a solution that unifies legacy virtualized infrastructure while enabling the adoption of containers from core to edge locations.
