Thanks Craig! I'll write up some docs/scripts for backing up radosgw and Ceph FS and share back with the community.

No. For most people, that's not really practical. Where would you export a 1 PB pool? :-)CephFS has some nice features that could make a traditional filesystem backup much more efficient. It rolls the size and last-modified attributes up the directory tree. If the backup client understood that feature, it would make delta backups much faster to calculate.On Wed, Nov 5, 2014 at 10:48 AM, Christopher Armstrong <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi Craig,We are indeed using both Ceph FS and radosgw. I know I can use tools to crawl over all the files and copy them someplace else, but wanted to see if there was a better Ceph-recommended way to backup the pools themselves which I can then re-import.Chris Armstrong

Looks like RDB is covered well in this thread, but you'll need something else if you want to backup CephFS (or RadosGW).CephFS is a normal file POSIX filesystem, so normal backup tools work on it. Although that can be complicated if you make it large.You didn't mention RadosGW, so I'll skip that.On Tue, Nov 4, 2014 at 11:52 PM, Christopher Armstrong <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:_______________________________________________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/docs/giant/rbd/rbd-snapshot/Is RBD snapshotting what I'm looking for? Is this even possible? Any info is much appreciated!Thanks,ChrisChris Armstrong
