    <p>Hi Bernardo,</p>
    <p>Thanks, I knew this tool, but it is based on sdk3 which will be
      removed in the next version 4.2, so I'm looking at sdk4 project. <br>
    </p>
    <p>You may want to adapt it?<br>

                <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 -

                </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>
