Python script that backups VMs from a remote xen hypervisor to a remote (not mounted locally) samba share.

If enable, a report with all the logs can be send at the end of the script execution.

Script philosophy is :

• local script but remote hypervisor and remote 2 samba share
• no bash command calls
• use the XenAPI python library and existing http_action function (uses the "requests" python library) to download / upload a VM backup
• no use of ssh
• no mount of samba share : use the python samba client library instead.

VM Restoration is not implemented yet (despite the existance of the ACTION_MODE setting)... You are welcome to implement it by following the script philosophy.

Initially developped by Linagora, this script has been released on GitHub under the GNU General Public License version 3.
