Hi,<br>
<br>
The link <a
href="http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Backup-Restore_API_Integration">Backup
and Restore API</a> has steps for Full VM Backups. The mentioned
steps are,<br>
<br>
<ol>
<li> <font color="#000066">Take a snapshot of the virtual machine
to be backed up - (existing oVirt REST API operation)
</font></li>
<li><font color="#000066"> 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)
</font></li>
<li><font color="#000066"> 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)
</font></li>
<li><font color="#000066"> <data can be backed up>
</font></li>
<li><font color="#000066"> Detach the disk snapshots that were
attached in (4) from the virtual appliance - (added
capabillity to oVirt as part of the Backup API)
</font></li>
</ol>
<br>
In the example section, following is the explanation for step 2.<br>
<br>
<blockquote><font color="#000066">Grab the wanted vm configuration
from the needed snapshot - it'll be under <u><b>initialization/configuration/data
</b></u></font>
<pre><font color="#000066"> URL = SERVER:PORT/api/vms/VM_ID/snapshots/ID
Method = GET
</font></pre>
</blockquote>
<br>
But When run the GET request using rest API, I am not finding
information for <font color="#000066"> <u><b>initialization/configuration/data</b></u></font>
in the output.<br>
Following is the output of the GET request. Please advise If I am
missing something or looking at wrong place.<br>
I am also attaching xml file with the following content. Please
let me know if you need more information.<br>
