Description

Motivation

We previously found that the storage was unreliable. As of #173674 we have a new backup setup on openplatform. We should discuss what to do with the old backup.qa.suse.de and if it's to be removed, or used as a fallback. If we decide to delete the VM we may want to ensure that we have an additional backup option.

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: The current and former role of backup.qa.suse.de is clearly described on wiki pages
  • AC2: backup.qa.suse.de is no longer required by any salt states OR clearly identified as a fallback
  • AC3: Additional backup options have been considered

I suppose it shouldn't wait too long, since we also want to be sure documentation is updated and we don't end up confused what was or wasn't already done. But shouldn't need to be on the backlog right away.

I don't agree with the ACs. Why should we get rid of backup.qa.suse.de? As long as we can still run it that is good as an additional safety layer. What should be done however is to ensure that our current backup solution is mentioned on https://gitlab.suse.de/suse/wiki/-/blob/main/qe_infrastructure.md

Because it's considered unreliable. Lemme rephrase the AC's, though.
