Solution
To continue using the Generic Storage Backup feature on OCP 4.11 and higher and to resolve the error shown above, security context constraints(SCC) capabilities need to be added manually to the container spec as shown below
securityContext:
capabilities:
add: ["CAP_CHOWN", "CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE", "CAP_FOWNER"]
If container spec changes are not permitted, update the allowedCapabilities field in SCC as shown below
allowedCapabilities: - CHOWN - DAC_OVERRIDE - FOWNER
Note: Backups will be unavailable until the changes are completed
