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.
