Hi,
The link Backup and Restore API
<http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Backup-Restore_API_Integration> has steps
for Full VM Backups. The mentioned steps are,
1. Take a snapshot of the virtual machine to be backed up - (existing
oVirt REST API operation)
2. Back up the virtual machine configuration at the time of the
snapshot (the disk configuration can be backed up as well if needed)
- (added capabillity to oVirt as part of the Backup API)
3. Attach the disk snapshots that were created in (1) to the virtual
appliance for data backup - (added capabillity to oVirt as part of
the Backup API)
4. <data can be backed up>
5. Detach the disk snapshots that were attached in (4) from the virtual
appliance - (added capabillity to oVirt as part of the Backup API)
In the example section, following is the explanation for step 2.
Grab the wanted vm configuration from the needed snapshot - it'll be
under _*initialization/configuration/data *_
URL = SERVER:PORT/api/vms/VM_ID/snapshots/ID
Method = GET
But When run the GET request using rest API, I am not finding
information for _*initialization/configuration/data*_ in the output.
Following is the output of the GET request. Please advise If I am
missing something or looking at wrong place.
I am also attaching xml file with the following content. Please let me
know if you need more information.
