Using MinIO for YugabyteDB Backup and Restore

MinIO is being used for YugabyteDB backup and restore operations as part of the YugabyteDB Anywhere solution, which delivers a streamlined operational experience for enterprises using cloud-native environments at scale. This allows customers to configure backup destinations using Network File System (NFS) or MinIO, a high-performance, S3-compatible object storage solution that is native to Kubernetes and widely adopted by commercial and community users. With its 100% open source status under GNU AGPL v3 and strict adherence to the API, MinIO provides a reliable and secure option for storing backups in MinIO buckets, which can also be used for restoring databases when required.
