Hello,
Thank you for the script, yes, it is clearer now.
However, there is a something I misunderstand, my raisoning may be
stupid, just tell me.
It is closely about the backup process, precisely when the disk is
attached to the vm... At this moment, an extern process should do this
step. If we consider using the dd command to have a byte-to-byte copy
from the snapshot disk, why not directly attaching this cloned raw
virtual disk to the new OVF cloned VM instead of creating a new
provisonned disk?
But you just might consider doing file copy during the backup process
(rsnyc like) which implies to format the new created disk and many
additionnal steps as creating Logical Volumes if needed, etc...
Can anybody help me with understanding this step?
Thank you.

Hi All,
I've uploaded an example script (oVirt python-sdk) that contains
examples to the steps
described on

let me know how it works out for you -

Dear Vered,
at some point we have to start, and right now we are getting
closer, even
with the documentation it is sometime hard to find the correct
place to
start, especially without specific examples (and I have decades of
experience now)
with the backup plugin that came from Lucas Vandroux we have a
starting
point
right now, and we will continue form here and try to work with him
on this.
Regards
Soeren

Maybe change the name of the thread in order to make this more

someone from the community that might be able to could help.
Maybe something like:
Request for sharing real world example of VM backups.
We obviously use it as part as developing, but I don't have what
you're
asking for.
If you try it yourself and stumble onto questions in the process,
please
ask the list and we'll do our best to help.

Vered,
It sounds like Soeren already knows about that page. His issue seems
to be, as well as the issue of others judging by comments on
here, is
that there aren’t any real world examples of how the API is used.

Subject: [ovirt-users] Backup and Restore of VMs
Dear all,
ovirt: 3.5
gluster: 3.6.1
OS: CentOS 7 (except ovirt hosted engine = centos 6.6)
i spent quite a while researching backup and restore for VMs right
now, so far I have come up with this as a start for us
- API calls to create schedule snapshots of virtual machines This
is or short term storage and to guard against accidential deletion
within the VM but not for storage corruption
- Since we are using a gluster backend, gluster snapshots I wasn’t
able so far to really test it since the LV needs to be thin
provisioned and we did not do that in the setup
For the API calls we have the problem that we can not find any
existing scripts or something like that to do those snapshots (and
i/we are not developers enough to do that).
As an additional information, we have a ZFS based storage with
deduplication that we use for other backup purposes which does a
great job especially because of the deduplication (we can storage
generations of backups without problems), this storage can be NFS
exported and used as backup repository.
Are there any backup and restore procedure you guys are using for
backup and restore that works for you and can you point me into
the
right direction ?
I am a little bit list right now and would appreciate any help.
Regards
Soeren
