# Storage domain where the VM's are located. This is important to check space usage during backup
storage_domain=storage1

# This value is used to check against the storage free space to avoid running out of space during backup.

# Example: A value of 0.1 means that a free space of 10% must be available from the summarized disk size of the VM which is currently backuped up

# If this value is True, the VM is being paused during snapshot creation.
