Version 0.32

qmpbackup:

• Add support for devices that are represented by qemu using json format, show warning if source files cant be parsed
• Code cleanup

qmprestore:

• Add snapshotrebase functionality.
• Add --filter option to specify which files should be rebased based on the filter.

Version 0.31

Version 0.31

qmpbackup:

• Fix -L option: in case logfile is specified without absolute path, log function would create a directory instead of the logfile
• Re-add check for bitmap state prior to backup: backup would fail if bitmap is not in active state anyway, but it is better to warn the user as soon as possible instead of receiving exceptions later on in the backup process

Full Changelog: v0.30...v0.31

Version 0.30

Version 0.30

qmpbackup:

• Add --no-subdir option: Save target files to flat directory, without creating subdirectories for each device ID
• Add --no-timestamp option: Save file for full backup to regular qcow image file names instead of FULL-*
• Add --no-symlink option: In case --no-timestamp is used, a symlink FULL-* -> disk image name is created: can be disabled using this option
• Qcow image configuration is now saved to the file name matching the disk image instead of the bus ID.
• Overall code cleanup and enhancements

qmprebase: has been renamed to qmprestore
qmprestore:

• Functionality has been split between "merge" and "rebase" actions.
• Rebase function: Rebase the files in the specified directory but does not commit the changes back to the full image, instead it now creates a symlink to the toplevel image file to be used after rebasing.
• Merge function: merges all changes back to a specified target image file without touching the original backup files.
• Now all files are checked before applying rebase or merge actions.
