Feature Cloudstack 4.15

Hi ,

I am trying to use Backup and Recovery Framework with ACS 4.15.1

I would like to implement it with Xcp-NG servers
What i see is that only Veeam with Vmware is ready

Would it be possible to have an interface in order to define a custom
External Provider (3rd Party Backup Solutions like bacula, amanda or
backuppc ) like described here :

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Backup+and+Recovery+Framework

I was thinking about a form giving the commands to execute for each type of
Backup API Call of the framework


Thanks for your help and ideas

Regards, Benoit

Hi Benoit,

Yes, it's possible to write a backup and recovery plugin. The framework exposes interfaces that your plugin or an external service managed by the plugin can execute/implement. For example, taking backup, restoring backup to primary storage etc. Depending on what/how you're integrating it the B&R framework itself may required to be refactored to accomodate the new plugin.

If it helps you can look into the current B&R framework and plugin (see the dummy provider for example) or the original pull request for implementation details - https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/3553


Regards.
