<p>Thanks Yaniv, i read about image io streaming after send that
email, i will use it for my project.<br>
<br>
I will explain to you what I'm trying to do:<br>
<br>
- I'm creating a software to make full backup and restore of VMs
using python and the backup/restore api<br>
<br>
- The main difference is, i want to have the option to make a full
restore or granular restore.<br>
<br>
- The backup process is:<br>
<br>
- Create snapshot off the vm<br>
<br>
- Mount snapshot disk to a "backup vm"<br>
<br>
- Identify device name of that disk, this means "/dev/vdc" and
so on.<br>
<br>
- Create a qcow2 image from disk<br>
<br>
- Get vm configuration in a xml file<br>
<br>
- Create a compressed file from both files<br>
<br>
- Detach disk from backup vm<br>
<br>
- Delete the snapshot<br>
<br>
- The full recovery process is:<br>
<br>
- Upload the qcow2 files throw image io api<br>
<br>
- Create a new vm based on the xml file<br>
<br>
- The granular recover process is:<br>
<br>
- Mount the qcow2 image to as a loop device<br>
<br>
- Copy files<br>
<br>
I will create a kind of new format, this "new format" will be a
.tgz file with:<br>
<br>
- qcow2 images, ordered by number, example:<br>
<br>
- 00-vm.qcow2<br>
<br>
- 01-vm.qcow2<br>
<br>
- the vm xml file<br>
<br>
I working on this a few days ago, so if you are interested it will
be a pleasure to me provide a solution to the community.<br>
<br>
I will share this project when it's works at least the full
backup/restore function<br>
<br>
I love oVirt but the my main problem is create backup and share
those VMs between DataCenters<br>
<br>
So i decided to create a software to make oVirt even more powerful<br>
<br>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Hello everyone, i got
some questions to you<span class=""><br>
<br>
Export domain will be deprecated so, how do i import a
ova from another oVIrt to my own oVirt?<br>
<br>
i will explain to you what I'm trying to do, i got oVirt
in 3 different sites, and I'm creating a python based
backup software for oVirt 4.x, what i want to do is
create a OVA or OVF file as backup and send it to my
other site, it's a kind of disaster recovery strategy.<br>
<br>
With oVirt 3.x, i do it creating a ova file then import
that .ova file using ovirt-image-uploader, but in oVirt
4 that tool will be deprecated also, so how do i export
a .ova or .ovf file from other oVirt to my own<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance
