VMware plugin does not backup VM templates #2118
Description
Bareos component version
24.0.1~pre19.3e3a7a6a2-19
Steps to reproduce
-
Create a template in VMware.
-
Use the Debian 12 packages.
-
Create a job:
Job {
Name = "vm-debian12template"
JobDefs = "VmwareJob"
FileSet = "vm-debian12template_fileset"
}
- Create a fileset:
FileSet {
Name = "vm-debian12template_fileset"
Include {
Options {
Signature = XXH128
Compression = LZ4
}
Plugin = "python"
":module_name=bareos-fd-vmware"
":dc=Tierheim Neukirchen:folder=/Template"
":vmname=debian12template"
":vcserver=vc1.tierheim-neukirchen.de"
":vcuser=bareos@vsphere.local"
":vcpass=wjPMXLDeJ54diKDaSs3kKgkOy4Pb4C167LbJu76t"
":vcthumbprint=809ef8bf3527dbe551b9f17ac366491e"
}
}
Expected results
VM template is backed up successfully.
Actual results
A traceback of the Python plugin occurs and the backup fails.
Apparently it tries to create a snapshot of the template. AFAIK you cannot create snapshots of VM templates.
