Currently Freezer provides basic features to execute Cinder volumes backup. The current approach present significant challenges, due mainly to the difficulty of downloading Cinder Volumes without passing through Glance. This can be an issue for time and scalability reasons, (i.e. volumes of few hundreds GB size, potential error probability increase, as more services are part of the process, unailability of cinder-backup).
New Features
Added new backup engine called ‘os-brick’ which allows to backup and restore the content of cinder volumes attaching it directly to localhost using functionality of os-brick library.
Known Issues
There are could be a read/write file permisson issues if freezer-agent don’t have appropriate right to readwrite files to mounted FS.
