Hi,

When you use KVM with local storage you are using qcow2 files which allow for both VM and volume snapshots.
Make sure in the global settings the KVM snapshots are enabled.

Hi Nux

We run KVM using local storage for all VM instances. Its to my
understanding you cannot run live/running VM snapshots of VMs if you
use the KVM local storage.

You certainly can. What is your hypervisor?

Hi Guys

I want to add on to this question, what is the industry standard of
making backups/snapshots of the VMs when using or working only with
local storage? You cannot make running/live VM snapshots if you use
local storage. So what do most guys implement in such cases?

Hi everyone!

What other solutions, besides Veeam, can be used (in production) to
backup
virtual machines integrated with CloudStack?
