Thanks for the above info. It worked.

Can I shedule a VM backup with Ovirt Manager GUI. If possible, Pls let me
know.
Not at this moment, and this is not planned for the future, afaik.
Did you play with the other SDK examples etc suggested during this thread?
May I suggest that this is best done as a plugin/contribution to a backup
solution, not standalone. I guess most sites with more than a few hosts use
some such solution - FOSS (amanda/bacula/backuppc/etc) or proprietary
(netbackup/backupexec/acronis/etc) - and backup of VMs (ovirt or other)
should be handled in this scope.
Searching the net I manage to find [1] and [2], which might be what
you want. Note that I never tried any of them myself.

Best,

Many thanks for the above script. I ran it on Ovirt manager. It worked. It
gave me the ID of my CentOS_71 VM that I want to backup.

I rewrote the script in this way and ran it.
#!/usr/bin/python
from ovirtsdk.api import API
from ovirtsdk.xml import params
# Connect to the server:
api = API(
url="https://engine.example.com/ovirt-engine/api";,
username="admin@internal",
password="******",
ca_file="/etc/pki/ovirt-

No error was given. I have no idea whether snapshot wad added or NOT by the
above script.
I can't display it.
How to display it?
Then, How to backup the VM with this snaphot?
Then, finally how to delete this snapshot? to delete the snapshot,
I tried with below command. the did NOT worked.
vm.snapshots.delete()
or
vm.snapshots.detach(
or
vm.snapshots.remove(
I think I am have completed about 50% of this backup process. If you can
write down the above steps, It would be very grateful.
I searched a whole lot. But , I still can't do it.
These are the links I came across.

this is your one
http://users.ovirt.narkive.com/Z29BQWAD/ovirt-users-python-sdk-attach-dis...
Hmm,
How to list the sanphot?
how to backup the VM with snapshot?
finally , how to remove this snapshot?
Then. I think it will be OVER. Yesterday, I tried a lot. but, NO success.
Hope to hear from you.
