Hi all. We have our env with Openstack (Train) and cinder with CEPH (nautilus) backend. We are creating automatic volumes snapshots and now we'd like to export them as a backup/restore plan. After exporting the snapshots we will use Acronis as backup tool.
I couldn't find the right steps/commands to exports the snapshots. Any info? Cheers

Hi Alfredo, What kind of backup/restore plan do you have planned? Because snapshots are not meant to be used in a Disaster Recovery backup/restore plan, so the only thing available are the manage/unmanage commands. These commands are meant to add an existing volume/snapshots into Cinder together, not to unmanage/manage them independently. For example, you wouldn't be able to manage a snapshot if the volume is not already managed. Also unmanaging the snapshot would block the deletion of the RBD volume itself. Cheers, Gorka.
