NFS backup driver¶
The backup driver for the NFS back end backs up volumes of any type to an NFS exported backup repository.
To enable the NFS backup driver, include the following option in the
[DEFAULT] section of the cinder.conf file:
backup_driver = cinder.backup.drivers.nfs
The following configuration options are available for the NFS back-end backup driver.

backup_file_size = 1999994880 |
(Integer) The maximum size in bytes of the files used to hold backups. If the volume being backed up exceeds this size, then it will be backed up into multiple files.backup_file_size must be a multiple of backup_sha_block_size_bytes. |
backup_mount_options = None |
(String) Mount options passed to the NFS client. See NFS man page for details. |
backup_mount_point_base = $state_path/backup_mount |
(String) Base dir containing mount point for NFS share. |
backup_sha_block_size_bytes = 32768 |
(Integer) The size in bytes that changes are tracked for incremental backups. backup_file_size has to be multiple of backup_sha_block_size_bytes. |
