Dear All,
One feature that I am really missing in oVirt is a foolproof (i.e., in a way that even I
will be able to implement) scheduled (cron would be good) live VM backup that outputs
ideally qcow2 files per disk plus an xml-configuration file that one could upload to a
regular KVM host, in case that should be required. As far as I understand, that is not yet
on the roadmap, correct? For my plain SOHO KVM hosts, I am using a script to do just that.
While I almost never need the backups - files with a human readable text name which I know
how to use on any freshly installed KVM host in case of a crash emergency -, I feel better
keeping them available for some time period.
Regards,
Michael
