Nova service and API extension for handling the scheduling of backups
In addition to creating image backup on demand, you may also want to schedule periodic image backup. These periodic image backups are triggered automatically based on backup schedule established.
This blueprint is a revival of the abandoned API backup schedule function: http://
It introduces the new 'nova-schedule-
Future work, outside of the scope of the current blueprint, we can make it more general. We can add a schedule parameter for each server action on the OpenStack compute API (like it was proposed by the blueprint https:/

There is discussion on the ML going on about this --Vish

We've been working on this general idea, here's what we're thinking.
--Alex,
We propose the following:
(1) call this "scheduled_images" since it's not really a backup
(2) make a simple Nova extension API to start (will just allow enable/disable for an instance, and setting the number of scheduled snapshots to be retained); see http://
(3) a scheduling service called "QonoS"(see http://
added 10 Jan 2013: we've been working on an implementation, what we're doing is sufficiently different from the specification on this page that we've filed a new blueprint to supercede this one:
