So perhaps qemu-img isn't the best way to do this.I was hoping I could write a bash script or something to take a snapshot. Is that possible, or is there a better way? I was looking at https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup tonight, but haven't been able to get it to work as of yet. When I run it, it recognizes the backup storage domain, says that it has started taking a snapshot, but then immediately says the snapshot was created (at which point everything else fails): 2022-05-05 21:05:35,453: Start backup for: my-vm-name.example.com2022-05-05 21:05:35,554: The storage domain SpinningData is in state active2022-05-05 21:05:35,732: Snapshot creation started ...2022-05-05 21:05:35,732: Snapshot created2022-05-05 21:05:40,773: !!! No snapshot found !!!2022-05-05 21:05:40,773: All backups done2022-05-05 21:05:40,773: Backup failured for:2022-05-05 21:05:40,773: my-vm-name.example.com2022-05-05 21:05:40,773: Some errors occured during the backup, please check the log file
The README says something about the python-sdk. How do I install that? I don't see that anywhere.
