Support permanent cache

[aarononeal]

I have several large repos where cache data is many GBs.

The use of emptyDir for cache is problematic because it's so transient, particularly for one-off jobs like PVC backups.

Could there be a way to specify a permanent PVC for cache?

We are working on next version of the backup API. That will have persistent cache support. It may take some time for us to implement the new APIs.

Hello,
I've been looking around for enabling a permanent cache solution instead of emptyDir. I haven't found anything regarding progress on this, and so far only this issue popped up.

Was any progress made on the new backup API for persistent cache support in the last three and a half years?
