[PATCH 4/4] backup: Allow configuring incremental backup per-disk individually

Peter Krempa pkrempa at redhat.com
Tue Jul 7 15:23:03 UTC 2020


The semantics of the backup operation don't strictly require that all
disks being backed up are part of the same incremental part (when a disk
was checkpointed/backed up separately or in a different VM), or even
they may not have an previous checkpoint at all (e.g. when the disk
was freshly hotplugged to the vm).

In such cases we can still create a common checkpoint for all of them
and backup differences according to configuration.

This patch adds a per-disk configuration of the checkpoint to do the
incremental backup from via the 'incremental' attribute and allows
perform full backups via the 'backupmode' attribute.

Note that no changes to the qemu driver are necessary to take advantage
of this as we already obey the per-disk 'incremental' field.

v2:
    - backupmode=full incremental="..." is now rejected by the RNG
      schema
    - test output changes as we now validate virDomainBackupAlignDisks
    - typo fix
