Hi Josh, I aim to automate backup images of instance. I saw that you implemented a backup solution to the OpenStack Compute API which uses the snapshot mechanism of OpenStack Nova. It adds backup command with parameters 'backup_type' and 'rotation'. This command permits to define two type of backup (daily and weekly) and the number of backup to keep around. The problem is this mechanism isn't periodically executed by OpenStack. The user must execute himself the backup command to update the backuped images. I created, few weeks ago, a blueprint to define a simple way to automate this mechanism: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/backup-schedule Could you send me some comments/feedback on this blueprint ?
