<div>Hello everyone, i created a python tool to backup and
restore oVirt's VMs.</div>

<div>Also i created a little "how to" on my blog:</div>

<ul>
<li>Backup step is okay, and I get a usable qcow2 image of the
snapshot vm in the backup vm. It seems to be compliant with the
official backup API, except on the step 2.</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li><i>Take a snapshot of the virtual machine to be backed up -
(existing oVirt REST API operation)</i></li>
<li><i>Back up the virtual machine configuration at the time of
the snapshot (the disk configuration can be backed up as well
if needed) - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup
API)</i></li>
</ol>
<p><font color="#ff0000">I can't see any vm configuration anywhere
but only the qcow2 disk itself</font></p>
<ol>
<li><i>Attach the disk snapshots that were created in (1) to the
virtual appliance for data backup - (added capability to oVirt
as part of the Backup API)</i></li>
<li> <i><br>
</i></li>
<li><i>Detach the disk snapshots that were attached in (4) from
the virtual appliance - (added capability to oVirt as part of
the Backup API)</i></li>
</ol>
<p>An other case is when the vm to backup has more than one disk.
After I tested it, I found that only one qcow2 disk is saved on
the backup vm. This is really a matter when the original vm has
many disks part of lvm, it makes the vm restoration unusable.<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>About vm restoration, it seems that you are using the
upload_disk api, so the disk is uploaded to the pre-defined
storage domain, so it is not a real vm restoration. <br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Do you plan to backup and restore a full VM (disks + vm
definition) in a next release?<br>
