Currently, a restoration of a backup is a 100% manual step. Using PXE (via Ironic) in combination with ReaR, restoration could be done automatically without having to manually mount ISOs on startup. Benefit: - Restoring a host is done through a single command. - Restoring does not requir an external drive attachment.
