Hi Tobias,
I don't think there is a way to accomplish that within Ceph. The
existing RBD snapshot scheduling functionality is limited to mirror
snapshots.
I have seen a few referenced on this mailing list -- typically they
are under a few dozen lines of Bash so people tend to write them from
scratch tailored specifically to their environment (OpenStack, etc).
Thanks,
Ilya
