your own, you can specify the following parameters required to perform the backup:
Mode
The type of backup to be used and whether all, or only specified virtual machines
are to be backed up. Valid options are: online, allOnline, offline, and
allOffline. For explanations of these options, refer to
concepts" on page 195
url
The URL of the XenServer containing the virtual machines to be backed up.
username
The username of a user with the required access rights to the Xen Server.
password
The password of the user specified in username.
vmName
A list containing the names of the virtual machines to be backed up. If you specify
online or offline for the Mode parameter, you must specify the names of
the individual virtual machines that you want to backup. The format of the list is:
["name1", "name2",...]
The names can be obtained from the command line interface on the XenServer
(running the xe vm-list command) or from the XenCenter interface, as shown
in Figure
If you specify allOnline or allOffline for the Mode parameter, this
parameter will be ignored.
debug
A Boolean value that should be set to True if you want to create a debug file
during the backup.
