the archive locally. For example using [oras](https://github.com/oras-project/oras) cli tool:
DevWorkspaces can now be restored from a backup by setting the `controller.devfile.io/restore-workspace: 'true'` attribute. When this attribute is set, the workspace deployment includes a restore init container that pulls the backed-up `/projects` content from an OCI registry instead of cloning from Git.
