Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt's VM backup

Hello Victor, I have some questions about your script Le 07/07/2017 à 23:40, Victor José Acosta Domínguez a écrit : Hello everyone, i created a python tool to backup and restore oVirt's VMs. Also i created a little "how to" on my blog: http://blog.infratic.com/2017/07/create-ovirtrhevs-vm-backup/ - Backup step is okay, and I get a usable qcow2 image of the snapshot vm in the backup vm. It seems to be compliant with the official backup API, except on the step 2. 1. *Take a snapshot of the virtual machine to be backed up - (existing oVirt REST API operation)* 2. *Back up the virtual machine configuration at the time of the snapshot (the disk configuration can be backed up as well if needed) - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)* I can't see any vm configuration anywhere but only the qcow2 disk itself 1. *Attach the disk snapshots that were created in (1) to the virtual appliance for data backup - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)* 2. 3. *Detach the disk snapshots that were attached in (4) from the virtual appliance - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)* An other case is when the vm to backup has more than one disk. After I tested it, I found that only one qcow2 disk is saved on the backup vm. This is really a matter when the original vm has many disks part of lvm, it makes the vm restoration unusable. - About vm restoration, it seems that you are using the upload_disk api, so the disk is uploaded to the pre-defined storage domain, so it is not a real vm restoration. Do you plan to backup and restore a full VM (disks + vm definition) in a next release? I hope it help someone else Regards Victor Acosta _______________________________________________ Users mailing listUsers@ovirt.orghttp://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users -- Nathanaël Blanchet Supervision réseau Pôle Infrastrutures Informatiques 227 avenue Professeur-Jean-Louis-Viala 34193 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 Tél. 33 (0)4 67 54 84 55 Fax 33 (0)4 67 54 84 14blanchet(a)abes.fr _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
