It looked like this was an issue that was of interest originally to IBM? The<br>
design was abandoned in Gerrit and there appears to have been no progress at the<br>
DMTF on Redfish interfaces.<br>
<br>
Gunnar and Adriana, can you weigh in?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, yes, IBM was and is still interested in this feature but has been lower priority. I met with the DMTF a while back and they have agreed on the need to have this functionality and have made recommendations on the implementation, they
are just asking for a volunteer to propose the schema, their guideline is to support a blob specific to the implementation (instead of specific interfaces to backup/restore) and have the implementation decide on the format and handling/decoding of the blob.
The binary blob would be uploaded using the existing Redfish multipart form.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It’d be of great help to submit the schema proposal and get it through the approval process, the schema would not be very complex, then the next step would be to discuss within OpenBMC how we want to handle the blob and what data we want
backed up / restored.<o:p></o:p></p>
