support for creating backups and restore

[iahmad-khan]

Hi ,

currently I have a jenkins job that takes vtm backups daily and another one for restoring a particular backup , but I am using the raw REST curl apporach , can you please add these operations in your cli? I would have started contributing it but most of the stuff seems already done and i am quite new to golang.

• list current backups
• take a backup
• restore a spcific backup by name
• just restore the last backup
• dump the difference between two backups as text or json

thanks

Hi,

sorry for the delay and thank you for using our API. Actually the API has been heavily re-engineered and enhanced and now supports the use of maps to work with all Brocade vTM resources and API to get information/statistics resources. Regarding supporting backups, the current API does not support them yet but this feature is in our backlog so stay tuned.
For documentation regarding the new api please refer to the project wiki.

Thank you.

Hi @iahmad-khan
In the latest version (0.4.52) we have introduced the following backup functionality:

• Create backup
• Delete backup
• List backups

We do not have the functionality yet to dump the difference between two backups so I'll keep this open
