Is it possible to restore "openstack" to a different cloud? For example, either of the following;

1. Backup Openstack with version "X" and restore to different fresh deployment of the same version
or
2. Backup Openstack with version "X" and restore to Openstack Version Y or even later, Z

And are there any tools associated with Openstack that achieves this? I think this would come under the term "migration".

I've been reading the Openstack docs with regards to backup/restore and doing some trial and error on my side. It appears to me that the "backup/restore" is only applicable for the same system - can anyone confirm it? 

Are there any options for transferring data to a different Openstack deployment? 

Thanks in advance
