backup stop if we change focus about ovirt_simple_backup

[zipurman]

For manual backups, the browser is the piece that runs the backup processes in order. Scheduled backups do not require the browser and are run on a timed cron job.

To do that for the manual backups/restores, you'd have to create a linux service and change the way the code works for browser integration.

Stop showing the progress on the browser if I jump to another place, does not look like a problem to me, but stop the backup and the output writing to the log when we asked for manual backup, does not look good. If my browser/computer goes offline for some reason, the whole thing blows.

I think your suggestion would be the ideal, detaching the controlling browser from the backup/restore job it-self, that way the browser see or not the output/state, but it does not affect the underlying job.

==== notes
Best would be using the ovirt events system to send notification of the backup start/progress/finish.

The status screen does allow you to continue the backup/restore if the browser crashes.

I do agree that a service would be a good idea, however I dont see me coding that for a while as I only use it for scheduled backups and when I do use manual backup/restore I have no issues with browser control.

You can fork the project and code the changes if required. If you get stuck, I am happy to assist.
