Hello,

now that our oVirt Cluster runs great, I'd like to know if anybody has done a 
backup solution for oVirt before.

My basic idea goes as follows:
- Create a JSON file with machine's preferences for later restore, create a 
snapshot, snatch the disk by its disk-id (copy it to the fileserver), then 
deleting the snapshot and be done with it.
- On restore I'd just create a new VM with the Disks and NICs specified in the 
preferences; then I'd go ahead and and put back the disk... t

I've played a little bit around with building a JSON file and so far it works 
great; I haven't tried to make a VM with that, though...

Using the export domain or a simple export command is not what I want since 
you'd have to turn off the machine to do that - AFAIK. Correct me if that 
should not be true.

Now, before I go into any more hassle, has somebody else of you done a 
live-backup solution for oVirt? Are there any recommendations? Thanks for any 
help provided!

Best regards
Thomas Keppler
