virtnbdrestore without libvirt possible?

[slu-010101]

Hi,

I installed virtnbdbackup on our backup storage server (without kvm) on Debian 13 with apt install virtnbdbackup --no-install-recommends and tried to restore a VM.

Unfortunately this doesn't work because the missing libvirt-sock.
Is this a bug or do I miss a restore option? Or technical not possible without kvm?

Thanks.

Currently the restore utility attemps to connect a running libvirtd in any case.. It could be implemented to skip all libvirt related calls if option -D is not specified, then no running libvirtd would be required on the system where restore is executed.
