Dear all,
ovirt: 3.5
gluster: 3.6.1
OS: CentOS 7 (except ovirt hosted engine =3D centos 6.6)
i spent quite a while researching backup and restore for VMs right now, so =
far I have come up with this as a start for us
- API calls to create schedule snapshots of virtual machines
This is or short term storage and to guard against accidential deletion wit=
hin the VM but not for storage corruption
- Since we are using a gluster backend, gluster snapshots
I wasn't able so far to really test it since the LV needs to be thin provis=
ioned and we did not do that in the setup
For the API calls we have the problem that we can not find any existing scr=
ipts or something like that to do those snapshots (and i/we are not develop=
ers enough to do that).
As an additional information, we have a ZFS based storage with deduplicatio=
n that we use for other backup purposes which does a great job especially b=
ecause of the deduplication (we can storage generations of backups without =
problems), this storage can be NFS exported and used as backup repository.
Are there any backup and restore procedure you guys are using for backup an=
d restore that works for you and can you point me into the right direction =
?
I am a little bit list right now and would appreciate any help.
Regards
Soeren
