In such case ,
you use the same approach for the VM in whole - lock + snapshot on oVirt +
unlock.
This way you keep OS + app backup in one place , which has it's own Pluses and
Minuses.
Sure.... But the minus being it requires SIGNIFICANTLY more space.
I've got over a dozen VMs, all running the same (pretty much) OS.
If I based up the VM Snaphot there would be 12x space usage for OS
files that I don't need to backup because I can recreate those from the
initial repositories. Of course, this is at the expense of more time to
restore from the backup.
YMMV.
