Fixed In Version:		Doc Type:	Enhancement
Doc Text:	With this release, you can now export and import volume metadata. This, in conjunction with the ability to backup and restore volumes, now allows you to restore a volume even in the event of a catastrophic database failure. In addition, volume backup metadata support also adds portability to volume backups. Now, exporting a volume backup's metadata allows you to restore the volume backup on a different Block Storage service (or even a different cloud service altogether).

Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 18:32:50 UTC

Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/cinder-backup-recover-api.

Description:

We are almost at the stage where we will have backups that, should your cloud go offline/blow up/fall off a cliff, would allow complete restoration of volumes to their original state including db metadata. What we do not have is a means of restoring the backup metadata so that volume can then be restored with the existing backup/restore api.
