Add Nas backup driver in nas storage like gluster or local disk.
------------
I'll take a look at the review, but to echo the comments I made ont he summit session whiteboard (not sure of the best place to make them, so I'll make them everywhere:
Backup does not and should not look inside the volume. Doing so means:
a) You can only backup a limited range of FS types
b) You risk big security holes with crafted malformed filesystems
c) The block device you restore will be different to the one you backed up since creation order etc affects the on-disk layout
Just copy the raw blocks, and compress/dedupe as makes sense. Filesystem level stuff is a manilla thing, not a cinder thing.

I refactored the driver to use the qemu-img convert tool to dump out the image. This should address your concerns Duncan. Please re-review to ensure things are fixed.
Thanks,
