Hello,

I was trying incremental backup with the provided /usr/share/doc/python3-ovirt-engine-sdk4/examples/backup_vm.py and began using the "full" option.

But I specified an incorrect dir and during backup I got error due to filesystem full

[ 156.7 ] Creating image transfer for disk '33b0f6fb-a855-465d-a628-5fce9b64496a'

Now if I try the same backup command (so with "full" option) and I get

ovirtsdk4.Error: Fault reason is "Operation Failed". Fault detail is "[Cannot backup VM. The VM is during a backup operation.]". HTTP response code is 409.

How can I clean the situation?

BTW: the parameter to put into ovirt.conf is backup-dir or backup_dir or what?

Thanks,

Gianluca
