Install and configure the backup service¶

Install and configure components¶

1. Install the packages:

   # apt install cinder-backup
   

2. Edit the /etc/cinder/cinder.conf file and complete the following actions:

   • In the [DEFAULT] section, configure backup options:

     [DEFAULT]
     # ...
     backup_driver = cinder.backup.drivers.swift
     backup_swift_url = SWIFT_URL
     

     Replace SWIFT_URL with the URL of the Object Storage service. The URL can be found by showing the object-store API endpoints:

     $ openstack catalog show object-store
     

Finalize installation¶

Restart the Block Storage backup service:

# service cinder-backup restart
