The SQL Clone Agent running on the machine with the clones should restart with the machine and bring the clones back up once the connection to the image can be reestablished. It needs to be able to talk to the machine running SQL Clone Server to do this.
We've recently improved the reliability of Agents sending updates to SQL Clone Server so that you should be able to reboot the Clone Server whenever it's convenient for you. Because bringing clones back online and performing monitoring on them involves communication with the SQL Clone Server, I'd recommend staggering rebooting the machines with clones and the machine with Clone Server, though, so that you don't experience outages. / comments

You're right, that's something that our monitoring doesn't pick up at the moment, and SQL Server ends up experiencing errors because it's unable to write. Thanks, I'll add improving that experience to our backlog. / comments

Running T-SQL to take the clone database offline is fine, but Clone Agents run a monitoring service which tries to ensure that clones are online, which sounds like it might conflict with what you want to do. To check, you need to have the clone database offline in SQL Server but the machine hosting the clone online? / comments

Thanks for your feedback, and it's great to see that you're getting value out of SQL Clone in this way.
This does make sense, and it's something that we're interested in implementing soon. We do also have potential future plans to make our .NET client library available to help with building your own clients for SQL Clone - while we don't have an ETA for this, it would be great to get your thoughts on it. / comments

We don't currently have a built-in reporting function, but thanks for the feedback - we will keep that in mind when planning future work.
We don't commit to a stable schema in our internal configuration database, but would using PowerShell to query the clones on each instance work for you? A script like this would print out a list of clones on each instance that SQL Clone knows about: Connect-SqlClone -ServerUrl 'http://sql-clone.example.com:14145'
$Instances = Get-SqlCloneSqlServerInstance
foreach ($Instance in $Instances)
{
$ServerInstance = $Instance.Server + '\' + $Instance.Instance
Write-Host "Clones on $ServerInstance" -Foreground Green
Get-SqlClone -Location $Instance
}
If that doesn't work for you, let us know and we can explore it some more. / comments

SQL Clone 2.2.3 is available now. If you already have SQL Clone installed, it should show a blue update banner at the top offering you the update if it's able to contact our update servers. Otherwise you should be able to download the latest version off our website. / comments

An agent on a single machine can only perform a single imaging operation at the same time in order to avoid concurrency issues when interacting with the Windows services that we use. Agents on different machines can currently be used to create images simultaneously. If these operations are CPU or I/O bound, creating multiple images at the same time on the same machine may not be efficient.
However, looking at the code, it looks like we could permit multiple backup restore operations to happen at the same time. Would you be interested in trying out a build in which we make that change? / comments
