Bruce, OpenStack has the "Rebuild Instance" feature, it can rebuild the VM from snapshot. So the feature to allow to restore the cell system to a defined snapshot and backup is supported.

I am working on responding to a customer requirements list. What are the current capabilities for backup and restore for VM (OpenStack) guests in StarlingX? Is it available? If so, does it use standard Ceph / Cinder commands, or are there StarlingX commands for it? Thank you! brucej
