      Feature Overview

      Provide the capability for space and time efficient incremental back for VMs on OpenShift, regardless of the native storage capabilities of the VM storage provider.

      Goals
      VMS users and administrators will be able to take incremental VM backups after taking a full VM backup.

      • VMs will be able to be backed up within multiple checkpoints.
      • Incremental backups will be space efficient, only saving the changes since the last checkpoint, of the initial full backup.
      • Incrementa; backups will be time efficient, as there is much less data to transfer to other storage or off-cluster.
