Pre-requisite: EWC - OpenStack Command-Line client

Restoring Backups

  1. To restore a backup to a new volume, first you need to detach the volume from the VM:
    1. ssh into your VM
    2. become root
    3. unmount the volume 

      sudo umount --verbose <path-to-volume>

  2. Then you can restore the backup to the volume with OpenStack (from the machine where you are running Openstack commands):

openstack volume backup restore BACKUP_ID VOLUME_ID

Where:

  • BACKUP_ID: The ID of the backup to restore
  • VOLUME_ID: The ID of the volume to restore to (must be at least as large as the original volume)


3. Now, you need to attach the volume again to the VM as explained in `Configuring the extra volume in the instance`.
