Description Tim Hildred 2013-08-15 07:44:50 UTC 
Description of problem:

The 3.2 documentation of backup and restore is a documentation of a GSS workaround of the fact that 3.2 release did not contain a simple backup utility. 

Now that one has been developed for 3.3, it should be backported to 3.2 as soon as possible, so that the 3.2 documentation can be updated with useful backup content. 

Ideally, this would be done for 3.2.4. I have it on good authority that the backport would be simple, and we have a precedent in the form of the rhevm-image-uploader, which was introduced in 3.2 and backported to 3.1.

It should be simple to backport the script.

Please keep in mind that backup/restore can be done only for same minor.
Comment 2 Itamar Heim 2013-08-15 14:19:16 UTC 
the right way to propose this is to ask for a 3.2.z flag on bug 960280, for it to be cloned to 3.2.z.
