Replicate applications using NetApp SnapMirror and Trident Protect

Summary

I think that all Specs/annotations/attributes for Kubernetes CR's should be in trident docs. I have a current case where the customer applied replicateSnapshotReclaimPolicy: Retain to their kubernetes snapshot scheduler without realizing what that attribute did. Support engineers weren't able to identify this attribute either because it's missing from trident docs. I found the details for this attribute in Netapp data services docs. https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/data-services-backup-recovery/br-use-back-up-now-kubernetes-applications-cr.html#create-a-local-snapshot-using-a-custom-resource

Thank you @MattatNetapp for opening this issue. Will start work on it this week.

Hi @MattatNetapp,

I am trying to clarify a couple of points:

1. I could not find replicateSnapshotReclaimPolicy in the Trident documentation. Based on this, my understanding is that certain specs, annotations, or attributes are not explicitly documented but can still be used, as demonstrated by the customer. Since I am unable to find this attribute in the official documentation, is this understanding correct?

2. The link you shared points to the Trident Protect documentation. Are you suggesting that this applies specifically to Trident Protect, or does it apply to both Trident and Trident Protect?
