Hello all

I have a general question

So I am evaluating Linstor for my Custom Toy Openstack deployment and I see Linstor has docker integration. One thing im trying to understand. how does one backup volumes provisoned in Linstor for docker containers. I know Openstack has cinder-backup and docker is meant to be ephemeral. I was wondering is there currently or going to be a backup integration for linstor. Say to an external nfs share or another linstor cluster maybe even external object storage like minio/S3 compatible
