Automatically skip ISO disks from backups
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:
- https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/blob/master/src/tm/TransferManager.cc#L2364
- https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/blob/master/src/vm/VirtualMachineDisk.cc#L1561
- Maybe also something here https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/blob/master/src/tm_mad/lib/backup.rb#L315
Use case Do not backup useless data (ISO files). Use incremental backups in a VM with CD drives
Interface Changes none
