The OpenStack backup that proves it can restore.
Respawn is the OpenStack backup software built from first principles: back up workloads, continuously verify restore integrity, and surface recovery failures before you find out the hard way.
Works in private cloud and hybrid environments. Start without ripping out your existing stack.
What Respawn is
Respawn is backup plus verification in one system.
Most tools prove a job ran. Respawn proves the restore point is usable.
Respawn for OpenStack:
Backs up OpenStack workloads with policy control and sane defaults
Continuously verifies recovery integrity beyond “backup completed”
Finds and explains failures so teams can fix recovery gaps before incidents
Why OpenStack backups fail when it matters
Backup jobs can succeed while recovery fails.
Permissions drift breaks restore access
Snapshots exist but instances fail to boot
Cinder volumes restore but data is incomplete
API throttling and config drift quietly degrade recovery posture
You learn the truth during an incident, not during the backup
If recovery is binary, you should not be guessing.
What Respawn verifies in OpenStack environments
Verification turns recovery into a property of your system.
Examples of verification checks:
Data integrity
Restore point completeness and missing artifacts
Bootability signals and dependency readiness
Cinder volume consistency and restore viability
Identity and permission drift that breaks recovery access
Configuration drift tied to recovery outcomes
Coverage gaps across tenants, projects, and workloads
We tailor checks to your definition of recoverable, including the workloads that actually keep your business alive.
Outcomes for OpenStack teams
Catch recovery failures before incidents
Reduce manual recovery drills with continuous evidence
Create board ready and audit ready reporting
Get on demand artifacts for compliance and internal reviews
Stay confident during change, migrations, and upgrades
Simple pricing
