Tomeu and I had a quick chat about this.  A 'full restore' could be
done from Journal via rsync+ssh with no changes on the XS side (at
least for some scenarios). If we are going to do it for 9.1, we should
be doing it now, not later...

I am not sure how or when things will get prioritised for 9.1, but if
'full restore' is a high priority ticket (which I am not sure about)
then we'd need to hear from Greg on this track, and have a bit of a
catch up to flesh it out.

For some cases the XS will need changes, so it might be a good idea to
involve me as well (bear in mind I am in a tight release cycle right
now though :-) so my time's a bit squeezed...)

cheers,
