Hi Bernardo,
Thanks, I knew this tool, but it is based on sdk3 which will be removed=20
in the next version 4.2, so I'm looking at sdk4 project.
You may want to adapt it?

Hi Nathanael,
You may want to take a look at this too:

Hello Victor,
I have some questions about your script

* 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?
