Automated/Scheduled Backups Design

Overview

The goal of this blueprint is to implement capabilities in Trove to support automated/scheduled backups. This will be supported in the Trove API as well as the guest agent to use the existing snapshot-design in an automated way. The automated backups shall allow a user to restore or clone to a new instance at a point in time.

There are many different concerns when attempting to automate the backup of instances in a deployment, i.e. Stager Backups, Time Windows, and others. In the design of this automated system each of these concerns should be capable of being addressed. This shall lead to a pluggable or configurable interface for allowing a deployer to chose what type of strategy they would like to use without a code change.

Design Goals

The following are the design goals:

  • Pluggable interface to determine the type of strategy(s) to support. (Stager Backups, Time Windows, and others)
    • Manage network bandwidth and connections from backups
  • Database support for the schedule set and listing of the backups
