Research direction

Start by tracing the plugin's backup flow and the restore flow described in the issue, focusing on when volumes are cloned and when snapshots are used. Determine the rationale for cloning during backup, then document the decision or define the required change and its restore-time behavior.

Description

Hey @displague
Why does the plugin clone the volumes when creating backup? why not creating the volume from the snapshot only when running 'velero restore' ?
