I'm currently trying out Azure AKS and during setup I obviously also want to make backups. For this the best practice seems to be velero. According to the documentation of velero to include pv snapshots you would annotate the pod/deployment. Example:

backup.velero.io/backup-volumes: wp-pv

Note the above is when using a static managed disk. I can see the snapshot is created. However, when I do a restore a new pv is created instead of using the one from the restore. Is this expected behavior?

Ideally, I would like to use dynamic pv's instead but this would make it even more trivial because I don't know what name the pv will have and thus can't add proper annotations beforehand.

How can I solve this in a clean way? My ideal situation would be to have scheduled backups using velero and in case of a recovery automatically have it use the snapshot as base for the pv instead of it creating a new one that doesn't contain my data. For now, it seems this is a manual procedure? Am I missing something?
