_create_image method supports two types of images - image_snapshot and 
image_backup
These two are mostly identical except for few places (like checking for 
rotation etc.)

Neither Dashboard (Horizon UI) nor "nova" command line tool have option to 
perform "image_backup"
Both these only invoke "image_snapshot"

How does the *end user* use the image_backup functionality ?
(Found  @wsgi.action('createBackup') in 
nova/api/openstack/compute/contrib/admin_actions.py - Not sure how end user 
invokes this)

Is image_backup officially supported feature ? If yes, is this API-only feature 
?

-Mandar
