Abiquo will automatically allow access to backup policies for the enterprise of the administrator who creates the backup policies. For other enterprises, you must select the allowed backup policies for each datacenter.

VMs

After the user creates a backup, it displays in the list on the Backup results tab, which now combines the previous Latest backups and Restore results tabs.

While the backup system is performing a backup, Abiquo now locks the virtual machineVM. To open a list of restore details, which is now in the lower section of the same tab, the user clicks on the backup. 

...

Users can only restore a backup for a deployed virtual machineVM. If you undeploy a VM and then deploy it again, you can restore backups for this VM.

...

When the user deploys, reconfigures or undeploys a virtual machineVM, Abiquo will include a new job called BACKUP_SCHEDULE in that task. If the job fails because Abiquo cannot schedule the backup, then the virtual machine VM operation will roll back. As before events from the backup system are incorporated into Abiquo and streamed by the outbound API. 

...

There are new Abiquo API methods for working with backups. Previously, developers could create a backup integration using virtual machine VM metadata and events. Now developers should upgrade their integration to use the new API methods for backups, with new data media types. The Abiquo UI now works with the Abiquo API instead of virtual machine VM metadata. So backup results and restores in virtual machine VM metadata is valid but it will not be visible through the Abiquo UI. Backup results cannot be written using the Abiquo API.

In the API, there have been changes to the methods for virtual machine VM backups. And Abiquo now stores virtual machine VM backup policy definitions in the virtual machine VM instead of under metadata. And Abiquo stores backup and restore results in the database instead of the virtual machine VM metadata. See API Changelog v4.0
