backups

[Xel-Naha]

hi all,

I currently use this provider for building vms and containers and one of things I still need to do manually (sort of) is adding containers and or vms which have been created into backup jobs.

are there any plans to make this part of the terraform provider as an option? I would very much love it if we could add a "backup" setting for vms and ct or even the whole cluster.

maybe a good idea? whats your thoughts?

Hi @Xel-Naha!
That's definitely a good idea! We have a similar request #406 (without much of details though)
I just want to point out that terraform is not a good fit for executing a single backup job like "Backup Now" for a VM:

Bun managing backup jobs on cluster level is something that we can do:

hi @bpg

I would agree with you that it might not be the best on an individual level. At the moment we organise it on a datacentre level and not on an individual level.

I would envision that we can set backup flag on a container/vm level and this gets reflected on cluster level. Happy to help testing if required as I don't write go, but happily help out testing.
