I think the base script that the plugin actually runs could be easily adapted to a non-unraid system (but don't quote me on that lol). I'm still maintaining the script in a separate repo, so here's a link to just the script portion if you don't want to sort through the whole plugin:
Your script does not take into account dynamic qcow2 disks. When I use this script to backup a 500GB qcow2 disk (actual size 23gb) it copies the file including all the empty space, resulting in a backup over 20 times larger than the actual machine disk. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm using virt-manager on Linux Mint btw, not unraid. The script itself does indeed run on a non-unraid system.
