The user will then need to configure the backup at the virtual machine level, for example, to set the time , disks or file system path and select disks as required.
There have been some changes to the user interface.
After the user creates a backup, they can see the backup it displays in the list on the Backups tab. While the backup system is performing a backup, Abiquo locks the virtual machine. To restore the a backup, as before, the user clicks on the Restore link. To display open a list of restore details in the lower section of the same tab, the user clicks on the backup. 
NEED TO SEE THIS
Abiquo displays events from the backup system on the Events tab.
To see full details, the user double-clicks a backup event.
CHECK: Users can only restore a backup for a deployed virtual machine. If you undeploy a VM and then deploy it again, you can restore backups for this VM.
Technical details
When the user deploys, reconfigures or undeploys a virtual machine, 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 operation will roll back.
In Abiquo v4.0+, when the backup system is performing a backup, Abiquo locks the virtual machine.
CHECK: Users can only restore a backup for a deployed virtual machine. If you undeploy a VM and then deploy it again, you can restore backups for this VM.
Events As before events from the backup system are available in Abiquo. And full details are available in the Abiquo API log.incorporated into Abiquo and streamed by the outbound API.
The backup plugins work with the API (for backup management), and remote services: virtual factory and cloud provider proxy. The backup plugins are configured using:
- Abiquo property on API / Server: check
- Abiquo property on Remote Services: configuration file location
- Backup system configuration files in the same folder as the Abiquo properties file on the remote services
API Changes
There are new Abiquo API methods for working with backups. Previously, developers could create a backup integration using virtual machine 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 metadata. So backup information stored results and restores in virtual machine metadata is valid but it will not be visible through the Abiquo UI. For basic backward compatibility for developers upgrading an integration, it is possible to use the backup feature without a backup manager. There are no changes to Abiquo backup events Backup results cannot be written using the Abiquo API.
