Hi Jeromy,
See inline. ________________________________ From: Jeromy Grimmett <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2017 11:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: KVM Incremental Backups & Live Storage Migration Si, Thank you for the info. Forgive me, but I am still a bit new to the github/open source development world. So please allow me to ask for some clarifications: - Has the PR for KVM Live Storage Migration been implemented into CloudStack or is that something that is in development? A Pull Request has been issued, but it hasn't been merged yet. Typically a PR requires 2 reviews (Looks Good To Me - LGTMs) and a successful integration test. It often takes individuals interested in a particular feature to get things moving, so if you'd like it, feel free to review and provide comments and testing of the feature. - The 4.10 release does have Incremental backup capabilities for KVM? I believe it's using differentials from the base QCOW2 image that was snapped. Thanks for the help!

It backs up incremental snapshots to primary storage. Disk only snaps have been supported for quite a long time. - Si ________________________________ From: Jeromy Grimmett <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2017 11:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: KVM Incremental Backups & Live Storage Migration Hello All, Does anyone out there have a solution for doing incremental snapshots or backups of KVM (QCOW2) VM images? Also, does anyone know of any movement for doing Live Storage Migration for KVM VMs? In VMware you can "Storage vMotion" a VM's disks, but I have not seen anything to do the same with KVM in CloudStack. Any advice is appreciated.
