    feature request

Hi,
For the deployment, I would like to have the backup configured for the pg instances. However looking at the backup options only the cloud storage like S3, etc are supported, but not NFS. Understand that wal-g/e does not have support for NFS natively, but it does support backup to file system. Would it be possible to allow additional volume mounts and then specify backup locations to the mounted nfs drive?

Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests. Start by tracing the operator's existing backup configuration and how additional volume mounts are handled for PostgreSQL instances. Done means an NFS-mounted filesystem can be configured as the backup location and the behavior is covered by the relevant validation or integration checks.
