Discussion Topics

Vishnu:
Thanks to maintainers for review comments on this PR https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/pull/2543. Would like to discuss on next step and pending items from me related to this PR.
steve: finalize naming & CR lifecycle (who creates?)
Phuong:
We would like to propose a change to allow caller to specify an order to backup items of the same type. More generic than https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/1917 which only for PVC.
In backup spec, have a map of type to strings of specific names (e.g. PVC - names of PVCs)
Next step - submit a design doc PR based on https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/master/design/_template.md
steve: restore hooks design PR
@marccampbell will you be able to address open comments/questions?
