Create a new user-facing documentation page that explains how to use OpenEBS VolumeSnapshots with CloudNativePG (CNPG) to perform PostgreSQL backups and restores in Kubernetes environments.

The documentation will guide users through environment setup, OpenEBS and CloudNativePG configuration, snapshot-based backup execution, cluster recovery using VolumeSnapshots, and post-restore data verification. The goal is to provide a clear, production-ready workflow for implementing fast, storage-level database backups without relying on logical dump-based approaches.

We should also mention the known behaviour of snapshots with replicated PV mayastor so that users are aware of it.
Snapshots cannot be created if the snapshot commitment % is reached
SnapshotCommitment
https://github.com/openebs/mayastor-extensions/blob/develop/chart/values.yaml#L180
In some cases if pool commitment percentage is reached can also lead to snapshot failure
Pool Commitment
https://github.com/openebs/mayastor-extensions/blob/develop/chart/values.yaml#L167
Users must modify the params according to there needs and monitor these params
