i'll extend fungi's question, are the backup framework/mechanisms common whether it be Nova or Cinder or anything else? or are they unique but only grouped together as a service because they backup something. it seems the problem is we've imagined the service
as tackling a horizontal issue when really it is just a vertical story that appears across many silos.<br>
