block: add drive-backup QMP command
@drive-backup Start a point-in-time copy of a block device to a new destination. The status of ongoing drive-backup operations can be checked with query-block-jobs where the BlockJobInfo.type field has the value 'backup'. The operation can be stopped before it has completed using the block-job-cancel command. @device: the name of the device which should be copied. @target: the target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is a device, the existing file/device will be used as the new destination. If it does not exist, a new file will be created. @format: #optional the format of the new destination, default is to probe if @mode is 'existing', else the format of the source @mode: #optional whether and how QEMU should create a new image, default is 'absolute-paths'. @speed: #optional the maximum speed, in bytes per second @on-source-error: #optional the action to take on an error on the source, default 'report'. 'stop' and 'enospc' can only be used if the block device supports io-status (see BlockInfo). @on-target-error: #optional the action to take on an error on the target, default 'report' (no limitations, since this applies to a different block device than @device). Note that @on-source-error and @on-target-error only affect background I/O. If an error occurs during a guest write request, the device's rerror/werror actions will be used. Returns: nothing on success If @device is not a valid block device, DeviceNotFound Since 1.6 Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
