Hello experts.
Environment:
2 identical servers running
CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908
oVirt Version:4.3.7.2-1.el7
No clusters configured.
NFS share for backups on third server.
Have some questions.
1. Need to create backups of virtual machines to NFS without downtime. Can an 'OVA
export' be a complete policy for backups?
2. Is there a way to export vm to OVA via command line?

Exporting ova can be a decent backup method depending on environment. It
can be resource intensive and you can’t do incremental backups.
For an enterprise grade backup solution look into vprotect.
For more simple backup operations I wrote this ansible playbook a while
back to automate backing up vm ova images to an nfs mount using ansible.
I’ve been using it myself for several years and it has worked well for my
use case:

Hello Jayme.
I accidentally recreated ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Now at logs I see
--
fatal: [MY_SERVER]: UNREACHABLE! => {
"changed": false,
"unreachable": true
}
Failed to connect to the host via ssh: Permission denied
(publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).
--
Please advice how to resolve.

Resolved. Just copied the PK for ovirt-engine from 'Edit
Host-General-Authentication' to the authorized_keys file.
Thanks.

Hello.
Found your solution very useful. Thank you.
Have some questions.
1. Is there a way to pass virtual machine name as an argument to yml script?
2. Also there is a situation, when script unable to delete older backups of VM, if that VM
excluded from vmlist for the next backup (syntax err: "find: paths must precede
expression: +7").
