Since we do not have a working control instance, we need to have a workaround for backing up the machines:
* We do already have a BackupKVMWrapper.pl script (File-Backend) which executes the three [[#Sub-Processes | sub-processes ]] in the correct order for a given list of machines (see [[#Backup multiple machines at the same_time]]).
* We do already have the implementation for the whole backup with the LDAP-Backend (see [[ stoney conductor: prov backup kvm ]]).
* We can now combine these two existing scripts and create a wrapper (lets call it KVMBackup) which, in some way, adds some logic to the BackupKVMWrapper.pl. In fact the KVMBackup wrapper will generate the list of machines which need a backup.
The behaviour on our servers is as follows:
# A (decentralized) KVMBackup wrapper generates a list off all machines running on the current host.
