>or copying the images directly from one of the nodes already connected

How would I copy the image directly? On the node that contains the vm I
see the following mounted:
/rhev/data-center/mnt/blockSD/0e6991ae-6238-4c61-96d2-ca8fed35161e/master and
inside it I see the .ovf file:
vms/23b9212c-1e25-4003-aa18-b1e819bf6bb1/23b9212c-1e25-4003-aa18-b1e819bf6bb1.ovf
Please excuse my ignorance but where do I find the guest's file system
image and copy it out?

Ok, am I am guessing that for automated backups I should be able to
script this using vdsClient?
either this, or copying the images directly from one of the nodes
already connected to the storage by ovirt engine.

Unfortunately I've not had success with the live snapshots. My message
with subject "oVirt live snapshot problem" to [email protected] provides
more information about the problem.
How would one go about backing up the snapshot from storage?
same as a regular vm... via command line for now.

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?
