Hello Victor,

Hello everyone, i created a python tool to backup and restore oVirt's VMs.
Also i created a little "how to" on my blog:
http://blog.infratic.com/2017/07/create-ovirtrhevs-vm-backup/
* Backup step is okay, and I get a usable qcow2 image of the snapshot
vm in the backup vm. It seems to be compliant with the official
backup API, except on the step 2.
1. /Take a snapshot of the virtual machine to be backed up - (existing
oVirt REST API operation)/
2. /Back up the virtual machine configuration at the time of the
snapshot (the disk configuration can be backed up as well if needed)
- (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)/
I can't see any vm configuration anywhere but only the qcow2 disk itself
1. /Attach the disk snapshots that were created in (1) to the virtual
appliance for data backup - (added capability to oVirt as part of
the Backup API)/
2. /
/
3. /Detach the disk snapshots that were attached in (4) from the
virtual appliance - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup
API)/
An other case is when the vm to backup has more than one disk. After I
tested it, I found that only one qcow2 disk is saved on the backup vm.
This is really a matter when the original vm has many disks part of lvm,
it makes the vm restoration unusable.
* About vm restoration, it seems that you are using the upload_disk
api, so the disk is uploaded to the pre-defined storage domain, so
it is not a real vm restoration.
Do you plan to backup and restore a full VM (disks + vm definition) in a
next release?
I hope it help someone else
Regards
Victor Acosta
