Message-ID: <50ACD936.8060907@profihost.ag> (raw)

Hello list,

is there a recommanded way to backup rbd images / disks?

Or is it just
rbd snap create BACKUP
rbd export BACKUP
rbd snap rm BACKUP

Is the snap needed at all? Or is an export save? Is there a way to make 
sure the image is consistent?

Is it possible to use the BACKUP file as a loop device or something else 
so that i'm able to mount the partitions from the backup file?

Thanks!

Greets Stefan
