[PATCH 0/3] qga/win/vss: add VSS backup type options


From: Kfir Manor
Subject: [PATCH 0/3] qga/win/vss: add VSS backup type options
Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2023 10:50:01 +0200

Resolves: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/775

The problem, VSS backup type VSS-FULL (the only available VSS backup type 
currently) can break other backups that use VSS-FULL(for example, 
Bareos-Fullbackup).

Fix, add other backup types.

Implementation, put the desired backup type number inside Regkey value 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\QEMU Guest Agent VSS 
Provider\VssOption, so that the program can query the desired backup type.

VSS backup types:
number   type
1        VSS_BT_FULL
2        VSS_BT_INCREMENTAL
3        VSS_BT_DIFFERENTIAL
4        VSS_BT_LOG
5        VSS_BT_COPY

for more information about the different backup types 
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/vss/vss-backup-state

Additionally, the program would work as before with VSS-FULL in cases where 
VssOption doesn't exist, or VssOption value isn't a known backup type.

Kfir Manor (3):
  add VssOption to installer
  query VSS backup type
