Feature request - backup on another SR #97

Hello

We're using NAuBackup for the last 5 years -it's a great tool

Meanwhile i would like to ask you if it is possible to use the script in order to make the backups on a different SR on the same hypervisor - like having a shutdown copy of the machines there, just in case

For a specific purpose server, I have 2 different RAID's and SR's and I want to make a offline backup of the running machines on that SR

Thank you

The backup procedure creates a number of files and requires a Linux directory. It doesn't involve creating duplicate VMs with the same XS structure. Backups should be of course ideally on a totally separate storage that is not at all associated with the XS hosts to assure independence in the event a restore is needed.

Sorry for the extremely long delay in responding. I have been retired now for over a year and no longer doing development here, in part as I no longer have access to any installations. That said, you could readily write a scrip to take a snapshot, export it, and import it onto another SR and leave it turned off for future use as a backup. That could be accomplished with a fairly simple shelll script and xe commands.
