If I pause my instances in Openstack, then snapshot and clone my volumes, I should have a consistent backup correct? Is freezing on snapshot creation like LVM a potential future feature? I've considered Sebastien's method here( http://www.sebastien-han.fr/blog/2012/12/10/openstack-perform-consistent-snapshots/ ), but I would prefer to backup via ceph and outside of the vm.
