TypeError: The 'search' parameter should be of type 'str', but it is of type 'unicode'.

I am using version 4.3 script to backup 4.3 ovirt environment but received following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/ovirtbackup/backup.py", line 464, in
main(sys.argv[1:])

Probably because of python2.7, which handles string differently than python3

See #78 for fix

After I updated the backup.py with suggested changes, I continue to receive following error.
