Thanks a lot @arkadiam for your contributions!

v0.5.1

Bug fix

• Listing backups for specific groups now works. virt-backup list testgroup will list backups only for testgroup.
• Compares domains by using the libvirt ID instead of just object comparison.

Cleaning

• Remove the use of defusedlxml as the library is going to be deprecated. Use lxml directly instead, but remove unsafe options from the parser.
• Fix warnings with arrow.

v0.5.0

Features

• Quiesce can now be used for external snapshots. If enabled, libvirt will try to use the guest agent to freeze and unfreeze domain's mounted file systems. For more information, look at the quiesce option in libvirt: https://libvirt.org/manpages/virsh.html#snapshot-create

  It can be enabled for an entire group or per domain. Look at the quiesce option in the example config. If the domain to backup doesn't support this option, an error message will be shown, but the backup fallbacks to a non-quiesce snapshot.

v0.4.3

Features

• ZSTD packager can now take a threads parameter, allowing to use multithreading for the compression of a disk. Default to 0, meaning single threads. -1 can be set to use all the cores detected on the system, otherwise set an integer for the number of wanted threads.

Bugfixes

• Better handling of canceled backups. Backups can now be aborted (by a ctrl-c for example), and the cleanup will be correctly handled. Linked to #32
• ZSTD params were defined but not used.
• Fixes a bug with disks filtering in the config file. See #28 for details.

v0.4.2

• Fixes zstd packager cleanup #29
