Got a little bit further. "virsh backup-begin jitsi jitsi-backup.xml" works and I have a backup file now. VM was running all the time. Question. Is it save to use this function this way? Currently I do: virsh snapshot-create-as --domain jitsi weekly --diskspec vda,file=/var/lib/libvirt/jitsi/jitsi_weekly.qcow2-$(date +%Y-%m-%d) --disk-only --atomic --no-metadata ncftpput -V -F -d ... virsh blockcommit jitsi vda --active --verbose --pivot So while the backup is being written there is no write operation happening to the file. Any thoughts? cheers, t. On 2021-04-07 19:03, Thomas Stein wrote:
Hello one and all.
Just wanted to check out the new feature domainbackup but having trouble to configure it. I thought I just have to put
<domainbackup> <disks> <disk name='vda' type='file'> <target file='/var/lib/libvirt/jitsi'/> <driver type='raw'/> </disk> </disks> </domainbackup>
at the top level of my domain xml file but that does not seem to work. I get:
error: XML document failed to validate against schema: Unable to validate doc against /usr/share/libvirt/schemas/domain.rng Element domain has extra content: domainbackup
Can someone please push me in the right direction?
cheers, t.
