Documentation gap: Cinder CSI snapshots are region-local and not a backup — not stated in Velero/Managed Kubernetes docs #441

Description

Hello,

I'm following your doc to use Velero on Managed Kubernetes with Cinder CSI snapshots.

This guide don't mention that these snapshots stay in the same region as the cluster, aren't replicated elsewhere, and don't protect against region loss or accidental deletion.

This distinction is important: a reader following the snapshot setup guide could reasonably assume they now have a working backup, when in fact they have a region-local restore point.

Could you add an explicit note to the relevant pages and add the method to get a complete backup in another region ?

Thank you.
