[Starlingx-discuss] Replace WR backup with Cinder upstream backup

[Li, Xiaoyan]

Hi all,

Currently in StarlingX, it uses WR backup to backup volumes into local folders.
On the other side, Cinder provides its own backup service to backup volumes to kinds of backend storages, including local folders, Ceph etc. This is already in Pike release.

I am going to replace WR backup with Cinder upstream backup service, and it provides more choice to do backup.
To do the change, except work in StarlingX/Cinder, it also needs update in the component std-config.

In Cinder upstream, backup service is a standalone service. And in WR backup, it is in volume service.
As a result, we need to allow admins to enable/start backup service when installing StarlingX. This needs to be update in std-config. Anyone is working on std-config?

Best wishes
Lisa
