PV data not restored although PV object is there !

[Abhay Kohli]

I want my PV data to be restored, for testing i created a simple File in the volume and deleted it after taking backup but the File is not restore.

What steps did you take and what happened:

1. Installed velero using following paramaters:
   velero install --provider aws --plugins velero/velero-plugin-for-aws:v1.6.2 --bucket howdy12 --secret-file ./credentials-velero --use-volume-snapshots=false --backup-location-config region=ap-south-1 --namespace velero --use-node-agent --default-volumes-to-fs-backup
2. I have installed this on a minikube cluster with docker as a driver.
3. Created PV and PVC attached to a pod in namespace foo. (Manifet/yml files are attached for the same)
   I have created backup using command :
   velero backup create backup-test --include-namespaces foo --default-volumes-to-fs-backup --snapshot-volumes --ttl 180h
   and before this i have
   annotated the pod using:
   kubectl -n foo annotate pod/sample backup.velero.io/backup-volumes=my-pv
   FYI: Both PV and PVC are Bound

0 byte files are not included in restic backups.. so if all you did was `touch filename` then IIUC it won't be restored. Not sure if kopia have the same behavior.. you can try switching uploader-type to kopia

Please review the documentation and file issues if you think sections could be improved. If you already know what needs to be changed, make a pull request!

The aim should be that someone only has to ask once, and it can be easily looked up. You can find discussions of other velero users at
