Install and configure the backup service¶
Optionally, install and configure the backup service. For simplicity, this configuration uses the Block Storage node and the Object Storage (swift) driver, thus depending on the Object Storage service.
Note
You must install and configure a storage node prior to installing and configuring the backup service.

Perform these steps on the Block Storage node.
