Hello,

Freezer seems like a perfect fit for your need.

It's an official OpenStack project that provides backup/restore capabilities for Filesystem, Volumes, VMs and Applications.
It supports storing the backups in Object Storage (Swift, Ceph, ...), to an ssh server or localy (mounted NFS, GlusterFS, ...).

Here is our Wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Freezer
The project's code:
  - https://github.com/openstack/freezer
  - https://github.com/openstack/freezer-api
  - https://github.com/openstack/freezer-web-ui
  - https://github.com/openstack/python-freezerclient

If you have any question, feel free to join our IRC room: #openstack-freezer

Kind Regards,
Pierre

Hi Saverio. Looks like we will have that issue within a week or two once we finally upgrade our rgw (lagging behind the rest of our cluster). I will try logging​ this as a priority with Red Hat support.

Hello all,

we use rclone a lot, and we are happy with it.

the real problem I would say is that a lot of these tools use the
latest AWS4 signature.

AFAIK the radosgw with Ceph Jewel and Openstack keystone integration
supports only AWS2 signature because of this bug:
http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/19056

is anyone else hitting this ?
