we try to create backup even though service is down

[Dafna Ron]

my openstack-cinder-backup service was down while I was trying to create a backup for a volume

we get a message:
ERROR: Service cinder-backup could not be found.
but change volume status to backing-up and if I run cinder backup-list there is a new backup on the list

I am not sure we should continue at all if the service is down or not installed since there are some actions which we cannot do on a volume which is in backing up status.
