You can back up the data in the OpenStack Swift service account using the Commvault software. After running the first full backup, you can schedule incremental and synthetic full backups at regular intervals.
You can run a backup operation either from the default subclient or from a user-defined subclient.
If you perform a backup from the instance level, all data in the OpenStack Swift service account is backed up in a single backup job.
Before You Begin
-
Create a subclient.
-
Files with a trailing slash (/) in the file name are not backed up.
Procedure
-
From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computers > client > Cloud Apps > instance.
-
Right-click the appropriate subclient, and then click Backup.
The Backup Options dialog box appears.
-
In the Select Backup Type area, select the type of backup that you want to perform:

To perform a full backup, select Full.
-
To perform an incremental backup, select Incremental.

You can track the progress of the job from the Job Controller. When the backup has completed, the Job Controller displays Completed.
