No, I didn't say that. qvm-backup will probably never do this, for the
reason Marek gives in the last comment on that issue. It's more likely
that there will be a distinct qvm-export-vm tool that does it instead.

The phrase "the current qvm-backup tool doesn't already do this" above
means "It is not currently and has not been the case that the
qvm-backup tool is capable of the desired functionality," which
doesn't entail that the qvm-backup tool will ever gain this
functionality.
