Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v8 13/21] backup: Implement virsh support for backup

Introduce a few more new virsh commands for performing backup jobs, as well as creating a checkpoint atomically with a snapshot. At this time, I did not opt for a convenience command 'backup-begin-as' that cobbles together appropriate XML from the user's command line arguments, but that may be a viable future extension. Similarly, since backup is a potentially long-running operation, it might be nice to add some sugar that automatically handles waiting for the job to end, rather than making the user have to poll or figure out virsh event to do the same.
