[libvirt-users] Backup with external snapshots

[Dominique Ramaekers]

Hi everybody,


Following this user mailing list over a period of time, I saw a few messages regarding not being able using the external snapshot feature.


I refer to this procedure: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Live-disk-backup-with-active-blockcommit


I would like to mention this hoping it will help those users:

Using external snapshots works perfect again in qemu 2.5.0 together with this patch https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1300209


Full version list on which I did my testing:

Compiled against library: libvirt 1.3.1
Using library: libvirt 1.3.1
Gebruikte API: QEMU 1.3.1
Draaiende hypervisor: QEMU 2.5.0

Greetings,


Dominique.
