Hi Alexandre, Thanks for the link! Unless I'm misunderstanding, this is to replicate an RBD volume from one cluster to another. ? i.e. I'd ideally like a tarball of raw files that I could extract on a new host, start the Ceph daemons, and get up and running.

Is this even possible? Yes, you can use rbd snapshoting, export / import http://ceph.com/dev-notes/incremental-snapshots-with-rbd/ But you need to do it for each rbd volume. Here a script to do it: http://www.rapide.nl/blog/item/ceph_-_rbd_replication (AFAIK it's not possible to do it at pool level) ----- Mail original ----- De: "Christopher Armstrong" < chris@xxxxxxxxxxxx > À: ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Envoyé: Mercredi 5 Novembre 2014 08:52:31 Objet: Full backup/restore of Ceph cluster? Hi folks, I was wondering if anyone has a solution for performing a complete backup and restore of a CEph cluster. A Google search came up with some articles/blog posts, some of which are old, and I don't really have a great idea of the feasibility of this. Here's what I've found: http://ceph.com/community/blog/tag/backup/ http://ceph.com/docs/giant/rbd/rbd-snapshot/ http://t3491.file-systems-ceph-user.file-systemstalk.us/backups-t3491.html Is RBD snapshotting what I'm looking for? Is this even possible? Any info is much appreciated!
