I am looking for an image backup solution that allow the backup of online KVM VMs.  Integration with OpenStack would be nice but isn't a must.

Hi,

I don't have any good answers, but I just wanted to add that we get
this request as well. So, don't get me wrong, I don't think backing up
instances is all that  "cloudy" either, but some customers just expect
to have the ability to backup entire instances and are pretty
demanding about it.

So I too would love to hear about anything operators are doing in this area.

Also, I can imagine some basic scenarios for backing up an instance
and sticking it into swift, but what about restoring an instance?

Thanks,
Curtis.
