backup

Backup Script

Can backup domains.

Requirements

• python3-libvirt
• optional: tmux

Overview

• backup.py does the heavy lifting and uses tarfileProg.py(a variation of the official tarfile.py). It can backup any amount of disks from one VM.
• backup.sh does backups of multiple VMs and manages logging and mailing and so on. It needs a config file. The format is described below.
• backupTmux.sh runs backup.sh in a tmux session. Needs tmux to be installed.

Config

This is the syntax of the conf:

mail (off|on <recipient> <subject prefix>)
backup <vm name> <backup dir> [<disk> [<second disk> ...]]
backup <vm name> <backup dir> [<disk> [<second disk> ...]]
...

Where recipient is a mail address, vm name is a vm name as in virsh list and disk is a disk name as the target in virsh domblklist. Lines starting with # are ignored.
