Backups

Images:

 

Images are not backed up.  You should make a backup of these images yourself or practice infrastructure as code and be able to easily recreate them if need be.

Volumes:
To backup a volume you’ll need to flag it for archive. The following script will help:

#!/bin/bash

export OS_CLOUD=<cloud name>

/usr/bin/openstack server set --property archive=true $1

Run script:

$ archive_flag.sh <instance name or id>
