If non-backend nodes are read-only, we can just copy them outside QEMU. >> > Note: documentation of @target sounds like it could somehow name a >> > backend, but as far as I can tell it's always interpreted as file >> > name. I think block-backup should be added that takes a backend for target. It could also take a node name for the source, letting you copy any node if you really want to. >> > * drive-mirror >> > >> > @device names a backend, @replaces names a node, and @node-name >> > defines the name of the new node. >> > >> > Do we want to be able to mirror any node, or only a backend? Same as above. >> > Note: documentation of @target sounds like it could somehow name a >> > backend, but as far as I can tell it's always interpreted as file >> > name. Again, block-mirror could be added that takes a backend for @target (and if you want to, a node name for the source). Paolo
