Overview

The Provisioning-Backup-KVM Daemon is written in Perl and uses the mechanisms described under stoney core: OpenLDAP directory data organisation.

Workflow

This is the simplified workflow for the Provisioning-Backup-KVM Daemon. The Subroutines (snapshot, merge and retain) are shown later.

Figure 1: Simplified prov-backup-kvm workflow

You can modify/update this workflow by editing File:KVM-Backup-simple.xmi (you may need Umbrello UML Modeller diagram programme for KDE to display the content properly).

Snapshot

You can edit this workflow with the following file (you may need umbrello to modify it): File:KVM-Backup-Workflow-detailed.xmi

Merge

Next steps

  • Change the behaviour of the snapshot/merge process
    • No longer merge the original file into the new one but merge (commit) backing store file back into original one
      • Like that we are able to reduce the backup (merge) time a lot.
      • Needs different behaviour for save -> copy/move -> create new image -> restore -> merge
