chore(doc): updating the doc with supported storageclass parameters (#212)
Updating the doc with supported storageclass parameters

Also updated the readme with operator yaml to install the latest release
instead of ci release. Also corrected few formatting in the doc.

Adding hackmd notes from community meetings.

# Backup and Restore for ZFS-LocalPV Volumes
## Prerequisites
We should have installed the ZFS-LocalPV 1.0.0 or later version for the Backup and Restore, see [readme](../README.md) for the steps to install the ZFS-LocalPV driver.
## Setup
### 1. Install Velero CLI
follow the steps mentioned [here](https://velero.io/docs/v1.4/basic-install/) to install velero CLI
### 2. Deploy Velero
#### 1. setup the credential file
```
$ cat /home/pawan/velero/credentials-minio
[default]
aws_access_key_id = minio
aws_secret_access_key = minio123
```
#### 2. Install Velero
```
velero install --provider aws --bucket velero --secret-file /home/pawan/velero/credentials-minio --plugins velero/velero-plugin-for-aws:v1.0.0-beta.1 --backup-location-config region=minio,s3ForcePathStyle="true",s3Url=http://minio.velero.svc:9000 --use-volume-snapshots=true --use-restic
```
### 3. Deploy MinIO
Deploy the minio for storing the backup :-
```
$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openebs/zfs-localpv/master/deploy/sample/minio.yaml
```
The above minio uses tmp directory inside the pod to store the data, so when restart happens, the backed up data will be gone. We can change the above yaml to use persistence storage to store the data so that we can persist the data after restart.
Check the Velero Pods are UP and Running
```
$ kubectl get po -n velero
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
minio-d787f4bf7-xqmq5 1/1 Running 0 8s
minio-setup-prln8 0/1 Completed 0 8s
restic-4kx8l 1/1 Running 0 69s
restic-g5zq9 1/1 Running 0 69s
restic-k7k4s 1/1 Running 0 69s
velero-7d9c448bc5-j424s 1/1 Running 3 69s
```
### 4. Setup ZFS-LocalPV Plugin
#### 1. Install the Velero Plugin for ZFS-LocalPV
```
velero plugin add openebs/velero-plugin:2.1.0
```
We have to install the velero-plugin 2.1.0 or later version which has the support for ZFS-LocalPV.
#### 2. Setup the snapshot location to store the data
Create the volume snapshot location which has the information about where the snapshot should be stored
```yaml
apiVersion: velero.io/v1
kind: VolumeSnapshotLocation
metadata:
name: zfspv
namespace: velero
spec:
provider: openebs.io/zfspv-blockstore
config:
bucket: velero
prefix: zfs
namespace: openebs # this is namespace where ZFS-LocalPV creates all the CRs, passed as OPENEBS_NAMESPACE env in the ZFS-LocalPV deployment
provider: aws
region: minio
s3ForcePathStyle: "true"
s3Url: http://minio.velero.svc:9000
```
if you have deployed the ZFS-LocalPV to use different namespace then please use that namespace in the above yaml. To find what namespace ZFS-LocalPV driver is using, we can check what is the value of OPENEBS_NAMESPACE env passed to the ZFS-LocalPV Pods.
Check the volumesnapshot location
```
kubectl get volumesnapshotlocations.velero.io -n velero
```
### 5. Create the Backup
Create the backup using the below velero command, add all the namespaces you want to backed up in comma separated format in --include-namespaces parameter.
```
velero backup create my-backup --snapshot-volumes --include-namespaces=<backup-namespaces> --volume-snapshot-locations=zfspv --storage-location=default
```
We can check the backup status using `velero backup get` command:
```
$ velero backup get
NAME STATUS CREATED EXPIRES STORAGE LOCATION SELECTOR
my-backup InProgress 2020-09-14 21:09:06 +0530 IST 29d default <none>
```
Once Status is Complete, the backup has been completed successfully.
### 6. Do the Restore
We can restore the backup using below command, we can provide the namespace mapping if we want to restore in different namespace. If namespace mapping is not provided, then it will restore in the source namespace in which the backup was present.
```
velero restore create --from-backup my-backup --restore-volumes=true --namespace-mappings <source-ns>:<dest-ns>
```
Now we can check the restore status:
```
$ velero restore get
NAME BACKUP STATUS WARNINGS ERRORS CREATED SELECTOR
my-backup-20200914211331 my-backup InProgress 0 0 2020-09-14 21:13:31 +0530 IST <none>
```
Once the Status is Completed we can check the pods in the destination namespace and verify that everything is up and running. We can also verify the data has been restored.
### 6. Uninstall Velero
We can delete the velero installation by using this command
```
$ kubectl delete namespace/velero clusterrolebinding/velero
$ kubectl delete crds -l component=velero
```
