## Motivation During work on #170077 okurz found work on storage for qamaster to be error-prone due to the hardware RAID with many and old storage devices and unusual configuration with RAID6 for root device etc. Before we do more risky stuff we should ensure we have a current backup of qamaster VMs, VM config, jenkins data, data from backup-vm itself, etc. ## Acceptance criteria * **AC1:** We have a current backup of qamaster VMs, VM config, jenkins data, data from backup-vm itself, etc. * **AC2:** The backup is reproducible and not a complete waste of space (e.g. not copy backup-data.qcow2) ## Suggestions * Check what is already backed up * Follow suggestions from #173674 * Review https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/-/blob/master/backup/rsnapshot.sls?ref_type=heads as well as https://gitlab.suse.de/qa-sle/backup-server-salt * Add to backup what is missing, at least once manually, e.g. copy over stuff with rsync to another hardware * Consider a "backup of backup" from backup-vm * Probably it's better and easier to save data from within VMs but if it's easier consider backup of complete qcow files
