openstack backup

[dgyoo]

hi nice meet you

my name is karl

i wonder openstack backup supported by veeam B&R ??

Hello,
At the moment openstack is not included as Hypervisor to protect.

However, you can leverage our Veeam Agents for Windows, or Linux, and create protection groups that will discover those VMs running in Openstack, and then they can be protected.

Thanks

Hello, so given that Veeam can't back up the open stack hypervisor, in order to restore a failed VM, you would have to create a new VM, and restore the windows backup image to the new VM? If the OpenStack hypervisor could be backed up, then you could restore directly to the OpenStack bare-metal?

May be. But it does not matter because it's not supported at the moment.

Hi Team,

Can anyone share a tentative ETA for this OpenStack backup? Or please confirm whether it is in a roadmap or not.

Hi, Jigar. Currently it's not on a roadmap. Thanks

Hi,

ISP here with multiple private and multitenancy VMware / VCD environments. After the Broadcom VCSP announcement yesterday (16th July), you might start getting a lot more enquiries from potential Openstack candidates. I will bump and ask again - has the stance changed on Openstack integration? Is it being considered for product roadmap?

Kind regards,

Jonathan

No, it's not on the short-term roadmap. The current focus is on other hypervisors, I expect we will support virtually all of them by the end of next year. So there will be a lot to choose from for customers leaving Broadcom, just not OpenStack for the time being.

The main problem with OpenStack is that every company is using a different variation of it, there's no single standard deployment that would cover at least 80% of all OpenStack prospects.
