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
Contributor guide
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.
