Hi Benoit,

Yes, it's possible to write a backup and recovery plugin. The framework exposes 
interfaces that your plugin or an external service managed by the plugin can 
execute/implement. For example, taking backup, restoring backup to primary 
storage etc. Depending on what/how you're integrating it the B&R framework 
itself may required to be refactored to accomodate the new plugin.

If it helps you can look into the current B&R framework and plugin (see the 
dummy provider for example) or the original pull request for implementation 
details - https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/3553


Regards.

Hi ,

I am trying to use Backup and Recovery Framework with ACS 4.15.1

I would like to implement it with Xcp-NG servers
What i see is that only Veeam with Vmware is ready

Would it be possible to have an interface in order to define a custom
External Provider (3rd Party Backup Solutions like bacula, amanda or
backuppc ) like described here :

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Backup+and+Recovery+Framework

I was thinking about a form giving the commands to execute for each type of
Backup API Call of the framework


Thanks for your help and ideas

Regards, Benoit
