<p class="MsoNormal">This is something we're working on (I work with the author of the patch you referenced) but the refactoring of the backup code in this cycle has made progress challenging. If you have a patch that works, please submit it, even if it needs
some cleaning up, we'd be happy to work with you on and testing, cleaning up and improvements.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The basic problem is that backup is CPU bound (compression, ssl) so the existing parallelisation techniques used in cinder don't help. Running many cinder-backup processes can give you good aggregate throughput if you're running many backups
at once, but this appears not to be a common case, even in a large public cloud.<u></u><u></u></p>
