> Hello Stackers,
> We would like to introduce a new project Raksha, a Data Protection As a
> Service (DPaaS) for OpenStack Cloud.
> Raksha?s primary goal is to provide a comprehensive Data Protection for
> OpenStack by leveraging Nova, Swift, Glance and Cinder. Raksha has
> following key features:
>
> 1.       Provide an enterprise grade data protection for OpenStack based
> clouds
>
> 2.       Tenant administered backups and restores
>
> 3.       Application consistent backups
>
> 4.       Point In Time(PiT) full and incremental backups and restores
>
> 5.       Dedupe at source for efficient backups
>
> 6.       A job scheduler for periodic backups
>
> 7.       Noninvasive backup solution that does not require service
> interruption during backup window
>
> You will find the rationale behind the need for Raksha in OpenStack in its
> Wiki. The wiki also has the preliminary design and the API description.
>  Some of the Raksha functionality may overlap with Nova and Cinder projects
> and as a community lets work together to coordinate the features among
> these projects. We would like to seek out early feedback so we can address
> as many issues as we can in the first code drop. We are hoping to enlist
> the OpenStack community help in making Raksha a part of OpenStack.
> Raksha?s project resources:
> Wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Raksha
> Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/raksha
> Github: https://github.com/DPaaS-Raksha/Raksha (We will upload a
> prototype code in few days)
> If you want to talk to us, send an email to
> openstack-dev at lists.launchpad.net<mailto:openstack-dev at lists.launchpad.net>
> with "[raksha]" in the subject or use #openstack-raksha irc channel.
