    api-ref: move createBackup to server-actions
    
    The createBackup API is by default an admin-or-owner API, so it
    should live in server-actions rather than server-admin-actions.

Title:
  createBackup docs don't mention it doesn't work with volume-backed
  instances

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The createBackup API does not support backing up volume-backed
  instances:

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/a24ce5b12776c854a473b4fb6a9f3c27731d3af9/nova/compute/api.py#L2782

  This is not mentioned anywhere in the API reference for that API, nor
  is the message in the 400 error response helpful, it just says "The
  request is invalid.".

  The docs and error message should be improved to note the limitation
  for volume-backed instances.
