&gt; I will position Bacchus as a protection solution, not only for backups<br>
&gt; but also replication. SDK would be a better decision in that way.<br>

</span>Note that the &quot;backup API&quot; is just a subset of the oVirt API. It is not<br>
a different API. In particular it is the subset of methods that can be<br>
used to create snapshots and to attach/detach the snapshot disks to/from<br>
virtual machines. The Python SDK does cover the complete API, including<br>
this subset. There is an example here:<br>

&gt;     &gt; Hi Barak,<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt; I was not aware of backup api hence used Python SDK. Is there any specific<br>
&gt;     &gt; reason that I should use the backup api ?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;     Well, it was made specifically to make building backup tools easier. But<br>
&gt;     I guess its up to you to decide if it helps you or not.<br>
&gt;     I&#39;m not sure, but maybe the SDK supports it as well.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;     In any case, great work!<br>
