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?
