Hiya, The API in oVirt engine actually supports creating snapshots etc. for backups. Check out github for scripts, i.e.: https://github.com/luisperezmarin/oVirtVMBackup And there are others. There is also a commercial solution, Storware vProtect: https://storware.eu/products/vprotect/ And

I agree with Dan, however EMC NetWorker can also backup RHEV. I'm not that familiar with Storware, but I know that NetWorker can do pretty much anything you'd like. That includes handling multiple levels of backup, storage tiering, multiple clones on different media, archiving and so on...
