Hello,

I'm curious how the community handles backup and disaster recovery planning with Ceph in production environments. Does running Ceph fundamentally change your backup strategy compared to traditional storage solutions?

Specifically, I'm interested in:
- Are you backing up at the RBD level, or relying on application-level backups?

I would say both are critical. Especially when doing application-level clustering; you may not be able to get away with restoring an entire VM.

- How do you handle cross-site replication for disaster recovery?

Are you talking about running Ceph in a multisite fashion, or just storing backups / RBD images somewhere else?

- Any tools or practices you'd recommend for automated backup scheduling?

When using Proxmox with Ceph, Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) is a no-brainer.

I know that there's enterprise-y solutions like Storware. I'm not sure how non-enterprise-minded folks approach this, though.
