Bug Description
https:/
currently the sdk does not return the uuid of the created image return by nova.
as a result the backup_server proxy api also does not return teh imag or uuid
https:/
which forces the openstack client to try and look up the created image by name.
this forces the openstack client to try and lookup the image by name
which works exactly once.
the semantics of the server backup api is that you invoke it every time you want to create a backup with the same name so that nova can find the related backup images and delete them when rotation is enabeld.
the current logic in the openstack client calls find_image with the backup_name and expect to find exactly 1 image
this will work the first time a backup is created and fail with a multiple images exist error on all future invocations.
The way to fix this is too modify the sdk to retrun the image uuid form backup, and the image object from
backup_server, exactly like create_image and create_server_image respectively.

https:/
then update the client to use the returned image instead of looking it up.

Fix backup_server proxy and action
Just like the create_image action, the server backup action returns the
uuid of the created backup image. This change makes the backup action
return the uuid and the backup_server proxy function return the glance
image object, consistent with create_
backup_server now also accepts optional wait and timeout keyword
arguments to wait for the image to reach active status, mirroring the
behaviour of create_
The misleading legacy comment in create_image has also been replaced
with an accurate description of the microversion 2.45 behaviour.
