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). For more information, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_OpenStack_Platform/5/html/Cloud_Administrator_Guide/section_manage-volumes.html#volume-backup-restore-export-import

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.
