How to restore full vmbackups that was created with backup_vm.py
Hello I have used the backup_vm.py script in 4.5.2.4 to make full backups of my vms to a nfs share. What is the process to restore the backups if needed? Thanks Don
Hi Don, We basically provide backup creation and disk management. So you can use the latter to restore your backup, using: "ovirt-img upload-disk -c engine.conf <backup-file>", and then you can create a new VM with it. "ovirt-img" comes with the latest ovirt-imageio release.
