class SwiftBackupDriver(context, db=None)¶

Provides backup, restore and delete of backup objects within Swift.

class SwiftObjectReader(container, object_name, conn)¶

Bases: object

class SwiftObjectWriter(container, object_name, conn)¶

Bases: object

delete_object(container, object_name)¶: Deletes a backup object from a Swift object store.

get_extra_metadata(backup, volume)¶: Swift driver does not use any extra metadata.

get_object_reader(container, object_name, extra_metadata=None)¶

Return reader object.

Returns a reader object that retrieves a chunk of backed-up volume data from a Swift object store.

get_object_writer(container, object_name, extra_metadata=None)¶

Return a writer object.

Returns a writer object that stores a chunk of volume data in a Swift object store.

put_container(container)¶: Create the container if needed. No failure if it pre-exists.

update_container_name(backup, container)¶: Use the container name as provided - don’t update.
