3 years ago Hello Made a little different functionality, but perhaps someone will be useful, and very much hope that someone will be able to finalize and add to the main branch. Did it on version 4.3 Added three options 1) Export boot disk only. 2) Excluding deactivated disks when backup (I personally have a problem if VMs are running and their backup does not remove the snapshot) 3) List of id disks which need to be excluded from backup.
Tested it on a couple of virtual machines, got the idea from https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup/issues/11 and looked up the code on the here https://git.furworks.de/opensourcemirror/ansible/commit/9f6c210eac83b1f40e5a8a3d352e51e5d4bd8066
I am not a programmer, made for my own needs, so please check the workability before using it on a working virtualization.
To download branch 4.3, you must add -b
git clone https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup.git /opt/oVirtBackup.git -b oVirt4.3
To apply the patch, you need to unzip and run
git apply oVirtBackup43_20211012.patch
oVirtBackup43_20211012_patch.zip
P.s. Post updated, due to an error that crept up when reading the parameters, set all 3 parameters to None and reloaded patch. To roll back changes, use: git reset --hard
Hey! Is it possible to back up a specific disk of a virtual machine. There is a virtual machine on which the second disk is very large and its data is backed up by other software.
