Description

### The required feature described as a wish

As a User/Admin/Operator I would like to see the list vm's that got created from a backup.

Or

As a User/Admin/Operator I would like to identify VMs that have been restored from a particular backup

Currently, there is no way to identify vm's that have been created or restored from a backup

We have the following apis

1. Listing backups of a vm

https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.22/apis/listBackups.html

2. Creating a VM from backup

https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.22/apis/createVMFromBackup.html

3. Restore Backup

https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.22/apis/restoreBackup.html

Research direction

Start with the listVirtualMachines API and compare its current parameters and response with the createVMFromBackup and restoreBackup API documentation. The work is done when users can identify VMs created or restored from a particular backup through the listing API.
