[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6] Add manpage for QEMU Backup Tool |
Date: |
Tue, 18 Jul 2017 00:45:36 +0530 |
qemu-backup will be a command-line tool for performing full and
incremental disk backups on running VMs. It is intended as a
reference implementation for management stack and backup developers
to see QEMU's backup features in action. The following commit is an
initial implementation of manpage listing the commands which the
backup tool will support. The manpage wil be build along with other
docs when configure is provided with --enable-docs flag in the
location contrib/backup in build directory.
