Cannot specify destination storage pool in qvm-backup-restore #3261

@na--

Description

@na--

Qubes OS version:

R 4.0 RC2

Affected TemplateVMs:

none (dom0 issue)


Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Have another storage pool and try to restore VMs from a backup to it.

Expected behavior:

qbm-backup-restore to have an option to specify the destination storage pool like qvm-clone and qvm-create do.

Actual behavior:

No such option exsists

General notes:

This is a very minor issue, posting it here for completeness. It can probably be worked around by specifying default_pool with qubes-prefs (those settings are not exposed in the global settings GUI yet). Or by just moving the VMs after they are restored, though you have to dance around the "vm names are immutable" restriction by making temporary clones.
