Backup/Restore service overview

The Backup/Restore service provides an easy way to backup and restore

your OpenStack workloads to different storage.

The Backup and restore service consists of the following components:
  • freezer-api
  • freezer-agent
  • freezer-scheduler

The service features a RESTful API, which can be used to maintain the status of your jobs, backups and metadata.

This chapter assumes a working setup of OpenStack following the base Installation Guide.

freezer-agent service

hostname is _probably going to be the host fqdn.

backup_id defined as UUID of a backup.
