      backup: Document new XML for backups · 252958ee
      Eric Blake 提交于
      Prepare for new backup APIs by describing the XML that will represent
      a backup.  The XML resembles snapshots and checkpoints in being able
      to select actions for a set of disks, but has other differences.  It
      can support both push model (the hypervisor does the backup directly
      into the destination file) and pull model (the hypervisor exposes an
      access port for a third party to grab what is necessary).  Add
      testsuite coverage for some minimal uses of the XML.
      
      The <disk> element within <domainbackup> tries to model the same
      elements as a <disk> under <domain>, but sharing the RNG grammar
      proved to be hairy. That is in part because while <domain> use
      <source> to describe a host resource in use by the guest, a backup job
      is using a host resource that is not visible to the guest: a push
      backup action is instead describing a <target> (which ultimately could
      be a remote network resource, but for simplicity the RNG just
      validates a local file for now), and a pull backup action is instead
      describing a temporary local file <scratch> (which probably should not
      be a remote resource).  A future refactoring may thus introduce some
      way to parameterize RNG to accept <disk type='FOO'>...</disk> so that
      the name of the subelement can be <source> for domain, or <target> or
      <scratch> as needed for backups. Future patches may improve this area
      of code.
