Well this is just an example how to use the API. Real code will probably have some "start" frame with metadata, and will continue after the stop frame if needed. But it will probably be more useful if the backup software can generate a restore stream on the fly, instead of playing back the recorded data, so you don't write the same area multiple times. > thanks for all your input! > > bye, > - michael > _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/TIRCMEERRHTFNHFGKPOWBMLFKTIOU6EJ/
