FYI, there is an old series [0] adding a similar feature for VMs. It would be nice if we could have the API/UI be not too different between them. Of course, it's not set in stone how it's done there (since it didn't get applied ;)), but it would be great if we could come up with a solution that works for both cases. If you really want, you could even pick up those patches in your next version of the series (just tell me if you need a rebased version). Didn't have time to take a close look yet, just noting that 'exclude-mps' is not specific enough as a parameter name for the 'create' API call. The name really should include the word 'restore' or similar, and you can add a requires => 'restore' to the schema definition of the parameter.
