In environments that include the Data Protection service, you can create a checkpoint and restore this checkpoint.

Create a checkpoint

Create a checkpoint for some resource. For example, for volume:

  1. Source the demo credentials to perform the following steps as a non-administrative project:

    $ . demo-openrc
    
  2. list provider.

    $ karbor provider-list
    +--------------------------------------+-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    | Id                                   | Name              | Description                                                                         |
    +--------------------------------------+-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    | b766f37c-d011-4026-8228-28730d734a3f | No-Op Provider    | This provider does nothing for each protect and restore operation. Used for testing |
    | cf56bd3e-97a7-4078-b6d5-f36246333fd9 | OS Infra Provider | This provider uses OpenStack's own services (swift, cinder) as storage              |
    | e4008868-be97-492c-be41-44e50ef2e16f | EISOO Provider    | This provider provides data protection for applications with EISOO AnyBackup        |
    +--------------------------------------+-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    
  3. list protectable.

    $ karbor protectable-list
    +-----------------------+
    | Protectable type      |
    +-----------------------+
    | OS::Cinder::Volume    |
    | OS::Glance::Image     |
    | OS::Keystone::Project |
    | OS::Nova::Server      |
    +-----------------------+
    
  4. list volume resources, and get volume ID.

    $ openstack volume list
    +--------------------------------------+--------------+-----------+------+-------------+
    | ID                                   | Display Name | Status    | Size | Attached to |
    +--------------------------------------+--------------+-----------+------+-------------+

    +--------------------------------------+--------------+-----------+------+-------------+
    
  5. Create a plan for this volume:

    $ karbor plan-create Plan1 cf56bd3e-97a7-4078-b6d5-f36246333fd9 '286a43e9-3899-4983-965f-d8b1faef5e58'='OS::Cinder::Volume'='Volume1'
    +-------------+----------------------------------------------------+
    | Property    | Value                                              |

    | name        | Plan1                                              |
    | parameters  | {}                                                 |

    |             |   {                                                |
    |             |     "id": "286a43e9-3899-4983-965f-d8b1faef5e58",  |
    |             |     "name": "Volume1",                             |

    |             |   }                                                |
    |             | ]                                                  |
    | status      | suspended                                          |
    +-------------+----------------------------------------------------+
    
  6. Create checkpoint by plan:

    $ karbor checkpoint-create cf56bd3e-97a7-4078-b6d5-f36246333fd9 81ac01b7-0a69-4b0b-8ef5-bd46a900c90a
