Hi all,
+1 for this feature request, thank you for bringing this to life! Volume
snapshots are what our users currently use as backup solution, which has some
inherent problems such as handling large volumes and the handling of multiple
volumes (consistency).
One thought: when restoring a VM, I think there are two cases to consider:
- The VM is still in CS and the user just wants to restore an old version of
the VM
- The VM has already been deleted and the user wants to restore the deleted VM
As listBackups is described as " listBackups API method. List existing backups
for a VM". Is the second use case supported at all?
I like the approach not to define the backup policies in CS but in whatever
tool is used in the end, as otherwise a lot of features might be lost. We as
services providers need to create them in the first place, but I think this is
the better solution.
Regards
Daniel

Hi all,
We would like to introduce a new framework into CloudStack that will allow
adding Backup and Recovery providers as plugins. This framework goal is
allowing users to backup their guest VMs for recovery purposes.
Please find the FS on this link:
