Backup XCP-NG instances, beyond Pool metadata backup
-
AFAIK XO "Pool Metadata backup" backups the "configuration" that's been applied to an XCP-NG instance.
Would that include commands to manage PCI devices (xl pci-assignable-add) that are run locally on XCP-NG? (AFAIK it needs to be done with CLI locally, not from XO)
Anything I configure on the XCP-NG system, like say installing a Dell Service Module, or any binary installed with yum and it's configuration, how do you backup that?
I'm preparing something like a conf as code to apply to configure a fresh instance from scratch, but I'd feel better if I knew I could lose my boot device and restore from a cold storage as-is also.

Question for @stormi
-
I confirm local configuration is not backup with Pool metadata backup.

There's no built-in feature to backup changes made to dom0 outside changes made via XAPI, so configuration as code is probably the best option here.
