<div>One small addition: if someone has an idea how to keep the load down even when clone within the gluster storage domain, any suggestions are welcome and we would test that </div>

<div>Dear all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am no python developer (basically no developer at all) but i struggled with the backup for a while but finally i have a script almost OK for the backup.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Due to the fact that the “snapshot -> export” feature is coming as it seems in 3.6 we still need to clone and then export.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This script is threaded to do backups of 3 Vms concurrently, however, in our setup ( compute server with 3 separate gluster machines) parallel backups of 3 VMS create very heavy load on the gluster storage servers, and i would like to do the “clone snapshot”
to a separate intermediate storage already, can anybody help me with that ? (somewhere around line 70)</div>
<div>The cloning can hopefully go away in September with 3.6 but until then we still need that.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any other improvements are more than welcome – please keep in mind i am not a developer and I only tried my very best to write a decent script.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also: do we have a place (git repo or so) where we can put this script for everybody ?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am pretty sure there is more than one person out there looking for something like that (at least i hope :-) )</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards</div>
