Subject: [PATCH 0/3] qga/win/vss: add VSS backup type options
Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2023 10:50:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230209085004.2745131-1-kfir@daynix.com> (raw)
Resolves: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/775
The problem, VSS backup type VSS-FULL (the only available VSS backup type currently) can break other backups that use VSS-FULL(for example, Bareos-Fullbackup).
Fix, add other backup types.
Implementation, put the desired backup type number inside Regkey value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\QEMU Guest Agent VSS Provider\VssOption, so that the program can query the desired backup type.
VSS backup types:
number type
1 VSS_BT_FULL
2 VSS_BT_INCREMENTAL
3 VSS_BT_DIFFERENTIAL
4 VSS_BT_LOG
5 VSS_BT_COPY
for more information about the different backup types https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/vss/vss-backup-state
Additionally, the program would work as before with VSS-FULL in cases where VssOption doesn't exist, or VssOption value isn't a known backup type.
