No problem:

1. backup list - what we going to save (I’m going to start 2 queues, so I have 2 lists)
2. backup\_start.sh - Parent script, that work with list of backup disks vm’s (It calls from cron.d)
3. vm\_disk\_dump.sh - Saves vm’s disk in image store, with \*.bak name
4. vm\_disk\_move.sh - Finds all \*.bak images and transfer its to backup store
