Support for local filesystem

[aantono]

Is it possible to support a file: prefix to be able to copy from/to the local filesystem from within the container itself? It would be useful to be able to download/upload things from remote stores into the local/shared container volume mount as an init container, etc.

Local file URI scheme support is critical. It is extremely inconvenient to not have this option.

For example, skbn has trouble authenticating between S3 buckets and EKS clusters in different AWS tenants. Naturally, copying the backup files locally would be a solution. But that is not supported.

For now, I am completely eschewing skbn for restore operations, instead running awscli directly on my Kubernetes pods.
