August 23, 20169 yr Goals: 1. i want to backup my VM(s) at a scheduled time (say weekly). 2. Hopefully have this automated so i dont have to manually do it. 3. And make the backup easy enough to restore/recover from. Problems: 1. taking a copy of the vdisk requires the VM to be off. 2. nothing out of the box? So, there have been some discussion and a solution here (https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=39061.msg363625#msg363625) if anyone cares to read. But this solution is just a single backup, and requires the VM to be off. Can we possible create some sort of a script where it checks if a VM is on/off, if on, then turn it off (waits till its off), then runs the command mentioned in the above link (or just simply take a copy of the specified vdisk image), then brings the VM back to the state it was in prior (turn it on if it was on). And have this script execute on a set schedule somehow? Ofcorse, i dont know how hard it would be to actually turn this into a plugin and have a small ui where you can set some settings (frequency/time/destination etc) and enable/disable backups, and if someone can build something that would be amazing. Otherwise if i can get some info on how i would go about making a script, and how i would go about making a plugin, then i could even try making one my self.
