Hi guys,

I am looking for a simple way to backup guest images.
What is the recommended/best method to copy vm snapshots from oVirt? I
am hoping to copy to an NFS share (export domain) if possible? From what
I've seen it is possible when using qemu-img when not using oVirt.... is
it possible to do something similar with oVirt?

you can export a VM to an NFS export domain, then back it up.
you can stop the VM and backup the data from NFS/Block directly.
in 3.1, you should be able to live snapshot, then backup the snapshot from storage

Hi everyone,

A quick check up on this one? Has anyone used Acronis with oVirt?

Hi guys,

First off well done to the oVirt contributors - it is an excellent
product!

Has anyone tested Acronis Backup and Recovery with oVirt?
I am looking for a reliable way to backup guest oVirt disk images,
config and state. So far I've tried the popular script by Daniel
Berteaud 'virt-backup.pl' which works very well for our standard KVM
systems but I found that I had to disable libvirtd's SASL
authentication which caused oVirt to lose connectivity to the node
and oVirt to fence the node.
I thought I'd try a manual 'virsh save' but that causes oVirt to
believe that the guest has gone down which causes the guest to be
automatically migrated (I am running 2 nodes).

What experience have you had with backing up guests? I am not sure if
Acronis is the best way forward?
