Description
When a VM includes a CD drive with an ISO image it should be skipped from the backup operation:

  • Incremental backups can only be performed with qcow2 files so using a ISO image disables the incremental option
  • The backup (now) of this ISO disks is done in qcow2 format that does not have much sense
  • The restore operation can use the original ISO image (or none, as it can be attached any time after restoring it)

Code changes, probably here:

Use case
Do not backup useless data (ISO files).
Use incremental backups in a VM with CD drives

Interface Changes
none

Progress Status
