The OpenStack Backup and Recovery Service
Enterprise-Grade OpenStack Virtual Machine Instance and Data Protection
Trilio is the backup service for OpenStack
Trilio (formerly Raksha) has been the OpenStack Virtual Machine and Cinder Volume backup and recovery service since 2013, and it is added and deployed like any other OpenStack service such as Nova and Neutron. OpenStack users will use and consume Trilio just like any OpenStack service – either through the OpenStack Dashboard, OpenStack Command Line or RESTful API.
Supported OpenStack Distributions
Trilio is natively installed and managed alongside other OpenStack services using the distribution’s deployment process.

OpenStack Backup and Recovery Use Cases
OpenStack Backup and Recovery
Recover any OpenStack application quickly in the event of data loss or misconfiguration. Trilio enables easy restoration of entire workloads that reflect the clouds last best-known state. Such as One-Click-Restore to entire project recovery on different clusters.
Migration
A tenant or administrator can capture an application and its data and non-disruptively migrate that exact point-in-time to another OpenStack cloud. The need to migrate OpenStack workloads can be driven by economics, security or test/dev.
Disaster Recovery
Recover any OpenStack application quickly in the event of a disaster. Trilio enables easy restoration of entire workloads that reflect the clouds last best-known state. Trilio makes OpenStack disaster recovery easy.
Network Functions Virtualization backup and recovery (NFV)
Business critical services like NFV can quickly be configured to any state, assuring the optimal quality of service. Trilio provides recovery from data damage and allows restoration of entire VNFs, selected VNFCs, or individual data items using a point-in-time working copy. The platform also allows recovery from a disaster by restoring the OpenStack network topology and populating it with a working copy of the entire NFV.
