Ron Stone f125a8b892 Remove spurious escapes (r8,dsR8) 
This change addresses a long-standing issue in rST documentation imported from XML.
That import process added backslash escapes in front of various characters. The three
most common being '(', ')', and '_'.
These instances are removed.

Back up OpenStack

is backed up using the back-up facilities.

The backup playbook will produce a OpenStack backup tarball in addition to the platform tarball. This can be used to perform restores independently of restoring the underlying platform.

Note

Data stored in Ceph such as Glance images, Cinder volumes or volume backups or Rados objects (images stored in ceph) are not backed up automatically.

  • To backup glance images use the image_backup.sh script. For example:

    ~(keystone_admin)$ image-backup export <uuid>

  • To back-up other Ceph data such as cinder volumes, backups in ceph or rados objects use the rbd export command for the data in OpenStack pools cinder-volumes, cinder-backup and rados.

    For example if you want to export a Cinder volume with the ID of: 611157b9-78a4-4a26-af16-f9ff75a85e1b you can use the following command:

    ~(keystone_admin)$ rbd export -p cinder-volumes
611157b9-78a4-4a26-af16-f9ff75a85e1b
/tmp/611157b9-78a4-4a26-af16-f9ff75a85e1b

    To see the the Cinder volumes, use the openstack volume-list command.

    After export, copy the data off-box for safekeeping.
