[pve-devel] proxmox : idea for storage replication feature for disaster recovery

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

Hi,

I'm going to build a ceph for mid 2014, as next release will be lts (I'll test proxmox gui soon).

I'm looking to implement some kind of async replication for disaster recovery.

vmware has a feature called "site recovery manager"


Maybe it could be great to have same kind of feature for proxmox ? (replicate storage and vms configuration to remote site)


-Basic storage (files,lvm) could use standard live backup/restore from proxmox. 

-ceph can use rbd replication (with delta snapshot)

-zfs can use zfs send/recv 
  zfs send tank/data at snap1 | zfs recv spool/ds01

-sheepdog have also incremental backup

So, maybe is possible to add some apis in pve-storage ? or extend current backup.

What do you think about it ? (I known it's a lot of work)
