Agentless backup for Openstack environments
Reduce dependency on Backup agents and simplify process management
OpenStack is universally recognized as one of the most sophisticated open source projects for the complete management of datacenters, thanks to its complex composition that includes several dozen components. Despite this complexity, modern businesses are widely adopted to meet the growing design needs of cloud platforms.
Through Storware Backup & Recovery you can use a revolutionary approach for backing up Openstack environments.
What are the steps of an Agentless backup for Openstack?
Export
Storware creates a backup or snapshot of the Openstack environment and exports the data to the staging space.
Store
The same data is moved to a designated backup destination, our Ceph storage.
Restore and Mount
The data is inserted back into a staging space and, by mounting the backup on the Storware Backup & Recovery Node, the user can browse the files or by exposing the backup via iSCSI for access by a remote iSCSI initiator.
Import
The data is imported onto the virtualization platform, Openstack in this case, and the VM is recreated.
