But indeed, for anything machine-specific Y, we will /have/ to have a non-connection backup. My argument is essentially that it's silly not to have a backup approach for libvirt too. If it becomes infeasible with device models or whatever in the future we can do: virt-convert: error: export of 'foo' in bar.xml requires a connection regards john _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
