#  ****  kvm-tools readme file  ****

what we have here is a litte tool to backup your kvm/libvirt virtual machines really convenient! check it out!

this readme was first released with kvm-tools.sh v0.1rc on the 21st of april 2011, that's why i call it judgementday release.


#  **** installation ****
# here on a ubuntu machine, but kvm-tools should 
# run perfectly on all unix based operating systems
# as long as there is a bash and libvirt
run:
sudo apt-get install git-core (if you do not have git installed already)
cd /opt
sudo git clone git://git.socialnerds.org/kvm-tools.git
sudo git clone git://git.socialnerds.org/bashlib.git

rename the configfile sample to kvm-tools.conf
move it to /etc/kvm-tools.conf
and change its content to meet your needs

after configuration run:
cd /opt/kvm-tools
sudo ./kvm-tools.sh -f

finished!

for usage help type:
"kvm-tools -h" or just "kvm-tools"


#  **** in progress ****
future features
- browsevdisk (mounting a virtual disk (img, qcow2) in the hosts filesystem)


hints
- a domain uuid should just exist once in the configuration folder
- only files with .xml will be read in the configpath
