Progress report for backup about longhorn HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi, looking forward to seeing this implemented. At the moment I am backing up some volumes but I don't know if the backup has finished or not yet.

from longhorn.

Usage for UI:
The backup list could be seen in the JSON format with the following request:

curl http://<longhorn-ui-ip>:<port>/v1/volumes

@shreesha21 Also need to document the interaction between fields in backup status.

from longhorn.

In BackupStatus, there are 5 important fields and details of those fields are mentioned below:

Snapshot: This indicates the name of the snapshot being backed up.
id: This indicates the name of the backup
Progress: This indicates the progress percentage of the backup. Value: 0 - 100
BackupURL: When the progress reaches 100, a backupURL is generated and populated here. This backupURL is required while restoring this backup in the future.
BackupError: If there are any error thats encountered while creating the backup, it will be populated in this field.

Steps to test:

• Create longhorn volume
• Attach the volume to a node
• Mount the volume on the node
• Write fairly large data into the mounted volume ~ 3 GB
• On volume details page, click Create Backup
  Expected result:
  • In volume details page, Snapshots section you should see a new snapshot being created, and you should see backup progress.
  • Hovering on the snapshot, a tool-tip will be appear, and it will contain backup information (backup URL, snapshot name, progress, .. )
