Hi,
The link Backup and Restore API has steps for Full VM Backups. The mentioned steps are,
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 capabillity to oVirt as part of the Backup API) 3. Attach the disk snapshots that were created in (1) to the virtual appliance for data backup - (added capabillity to oVirt as part of the Backup API) 4. <data can be backed up> 5. Detach the disk snapshots that were attached in (4) from the virtual appliance - (added capabillity to oVirt as part of the Backup API)
In the example section, following is the explanation for step 2.
Grab the wanted vm configuration from the needed snapshot - it'll be under initialization/configuration/data URL = SERVER:PORT/api/vms/VM_ID/snapshots/ID Method = GET Hi santosh, you should also have All-Content:true header. I updated the wiki page accordingly.
Thanks Liron. It gives the information I am looking for. Thanks, Santosh.
thanks!
But When run the GET request using rest API, I am not finding information for initialization/configuration/data in the output. Following is the output of the GET request. Please advise If I am missing something or looking at wrong place. I am also attaching xml file with the following content. Please let me know if you need more information.
