Setup backups for single-user disks

[yuvipanda]

So people don't lose data!

Some strategies:

1. gcloud compute disks snapshot
   • Must be snapshotted to a different namespace
2. Attach big storage to the provisioner and then attach+sync+detach each user's disk.
   • Use dedupe filesystem.
3. rsync from provisioner to network storage on campus. (we did this 1st semester)

I like option 1. We need to figure out costs, and also make sure snapshotting doesn't interfere with file contents.
