Hi Mirek,

Thanks for clarifying the intent.
In that case, we can just use strndup:

        *res = strndup (buf + 4+4, len);
        if (*res == NULL) {
            virStorageReportError(conn, VIR_ERR_NO_MEMORY,
                                  _("backing store path"));
            return BACKING_STORE_ERROR;
        }
