As most Ceph applications (like RBD) require special precautions and 
knowledge of what data you're handling, there is no real use-case for 
backing up raw RADOS objects. Thus we decided to remove it.


Essentially you could never sanely back up RBDs with that plugin. Wheter 
or not you're actually able to restore a consistent state is mostly pure 
luck.


To properly back up an RBD, one would need to implement RBD Incremental 
Backup https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/dev/rbd-diff/ which can probably 
be done in a rather simple python plugin.


Best Regards,
Andreas
