Volume backup deletion leaves orphaned files on object storage

[Eric Miller]

Deployment via Kolla-Ansible for Stein release on CentOS 7 with Ceph for object storage storage

This is likely related to:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1764269

but I wanted to specifically call out the fact that running:
openstack volume backup delete <uuid|name>

while logged in as cloud admin, and when deleting a volume backup for a project within a domain (such as a customer domain+project), deletes the cinder record in the database, but leaves the backup files orphaned on the object storage.

As you can imagine, this leaves quite a mess when trying to clean up old backups.

Hi Eric, hope this msg finds you well.

Would you mind to provide the next information:

- debug output from openstackclient so we can see what api calls it's making
- if it fails to delete the data from the backend, the cinder backup log should show something, please add c-bak log

Cheers,
Sofi
