cinder backup snapshots

Registered by Kevin Fox

You can snapshot a cinder volume, but to back it up, you must create a new volume from it, back it up, then delete the volume.

It would be very handy to be able to simply backup the snapshot like it was a volume and skip these extra steps.

(smcginnis): Marking obsolete as this has been sitting out there for a long time. If this is still needed, please submit a new bp.

kfox1111 - this is still as relevent today as in the past. Needed this feature last week and had to work around it. Please reopen it. Its silly to create a duplicate.
