Ok, am I am guessing that for automated backups I should be able to
script this using vdsClient?<br>
<br>

<br>
Unfortunately I've not had success with the live snapshots. My
message with subject "oVirt live snapshot problem" to
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:users@ovirt.org">users@ovirt.org</a> provides more information about the problem.<br>
How would one go about backing up the snapshot from storage?<br>

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

First off well done to the oVirt contributors - it is an
excellent
<br>
product!
<br>
<br>
Has anyone tested Acronis Backup and Recovery with oVirt?
<br>
I am looking for a reliable way to backup guest oVirt disk
images,
<br>
config and state. So far I've tried the popular script by
Daniel
<br>
Berteaud 'virt-backup.pl' which works very well for our
standard KVM
<br>
systems but I found that I had to disable libvirtd's SASL
<br>
authentication which caused oVirt to lose connectivity to
the node
<br>
and oVirt to fence the node.
<br>
I thought I'd try a manual 'virsh save' but that causes
oVirt to
<br>
believe that the guest has gone down which causes the guest
to be
<br>
automatically migrated (I am running 2 nodes).
<br>
<br>
What experience have you had with backing up guests? I am
not sure if
<br>
Acronis is the best way forward?
