Re: Proposal to move cinder backup tests out of the integrated gate

FWIW cinder backup by default uses swift as the backup driver and requires its services, and that's the way it is being run in this job [1].

The job could be modified to use e.g. NFS driver and not depend on other OpenStack services (unless one wanted to be fancy and have Manila provision the backup share).

Cheers,

Tom, Thanks for pointing this out.  I am a little nervous about changing the default in testing given that is the default configuration for backup.  I think if we are not able to narrow down the source of the issues this could be a road to investigate but I don't think that is the first course of action we want to take.
