I just wanted to share with all of you - especially those of you who are running Home Assistant as a Virtual Machine on Windows - my take on Automated Backups for your VirtualBox VMs.
Please have a look at the GitHub page: VirtualBox-Backup
Features include:
Feel free to make suggestions, comments, critique.
Iāve published an update with support for backup without downtime.
Very nice. I can not figure out how to get a UPS to do a complete shutdown, rather than āsavedā of VB VMs? Have you run into that?
Canāt say that I do. Iāve send you a PM to continue this conversation as it is slightly off-topic.
Thanks, this is just what I needed.
hi, marvelous batch script. i wonder if --include can be used multiple times on a single line? i mean, i have too many VM listed on virtualbox, but not all them needed to be backed up. i only need to include 3 VMs.
also, i see that the script, after doing snapshot, it copies to temp directory first before doing compression. why not do the compression directly?
It doesnāt support that, but there is nothing stopping you from making a few hard-codes changes to it.
Hi, iām testing the script and itās working real nice, i can even specify a remote computer folder to save the backups there!, iām just having a trouble with acpipowerbutton option, it trys to power off the VM but at the end says āERROR time outā.
Itās there a workaround for this?.
Thanks for this wonderful script!
I have not experienced this error. It looks like the VM in question is taking too long or does not support acpi.
