# OpenStack CLI backup tools

This repository contains a few useful tools to manage your instances on

OpenStack. It was written to support our backup needs in an environment

created to run volatile services.

WARNING: we use snapshots as a way to create crash consistent backups. These

backups may not include all data. Any data not `sync`'d to disk may be lost.

Read more about [crash consistent vs. application consistent](https://searchdatabackup.techtarget.com/answer/Crash-consistent-vs-application-consistent-backups-of-virtual-machines).

# Installation

Configure your OpenStack cloud(s). The example and default is based on [Fuga](https://fuga.cloud/).

- Copy `clouds.yaml.example` to `clouds.yaml` and fill in your details.

- Copy `secure.yaml.example` to `secure.yaml` and fill in your password.

We suggest you run this from a virtualenv.

```

virtualenv -p python3 env

. env/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

```

# Backup

```

./snapshot.py

```

This takes two optional arguments:

- `--include` can be used to specify servers that you want to include. Specify

  multiple times to include more servers.

- `--exclude` can be used to exclude servers from making snapshots. Specify

  multiple times to exclude more servers.

It will create a snapshot of all servers by default.

# Restore

```

openstack volume snapshot list

./restore.py --snapshot  --volume 

```

# Limitations

These scripts were written using Python 3.6. Other versions may work but are

untested.

# Tests

Sorry, this code doesn't come with tests yet.
