Hello Harikrishna, Thank you for your feedback. We have implemented the communication and works great. We are at the restore part now and it seems that there is no implementation for the B&R Framework for KVM. The restoreBackupVolumeAndAttachToVM() and restoreBackup() looks like they are Hypervisor specific.
For other hypervisors it looks like this is implemented in HypervisorGuruBase. Does this have to be implemented for KVM too ?
