Congratulations to the team, this list looks impressive! I have one question though: We are relying on https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup for our daily backup routine (which sadly is still stuck on API v3). So my question is, is API v3 still available in the 4.3 release? If the answer is no, this will sadly lock us out from updating to 4.3 in the foreseeable future. I am aware, that the release notes list API v3 as 'officially not supported'. Bit I *think* that it read somewhere else on the list that it still is available until 4.4 is released. What is the situation here? Regards, Torsten

It's deprecated but still available. Please move (or open a ticket there to move) to API v4 as soon as possible.

maybe try to use this? https://github.com/openbacchus/bacchus it uses sdk4 it works with ovirt 4.2.7 after some updates it looks modern ;) (I'm also trying to use it :) -- Mike

We also tried using openbaccus once in the past but it shortly stopped working for us, see https://github.com/openbacchus/bacchus/issues/30 I think that was due to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1628909 and I am unsure if this is now working again with release 4.3.0. I would be interested in hearing about your experiences in day to day usage. The potential is definitely there with openbaccus. But to be honest I prefer a small but flexible command line tool over a fancy GUI any time. Torsten

You can give this a try, if you want: https://github.com/jb-alvarado/ovirt-vm-backup It is very similar to oVirtBackup, but use the new API.

Thanks a lot, I missed this one. I will definitely give it at try. Torsten

I'm using openbacchus at the moment and have it working with oVirt 4.2.8 and 4.3. As you know it's UI based so doesn't tick your command line box (yet ;) ) On Mon, 4 Feb 2019 at 18:18, Torsten Stolpmann <torsten.stolpmann@verit.de> wrote:
