Hi guys,
I am looking for a simple way to backup guest images. What is the recommended/best method to copy vm snapshots from oVirt? I am hoping to copy to an NFS share (export domain) if possible? From what I've seen it is possible when using qemu-img when not using oVirt.... is it possible to do something similar with oVirt?
you can export a VM to an NFS export domain, then back it up. you can stop the VM and backup the data from NFS/Block directly. in 3.1, you should be able to live snapshot, then backup the snapshot from storage

Hi everyone,
A quick check up on this one? Has anyone used Acronis with oVirt?

Hi guys,
First off well done to the oVirt contributors - it is an excellent product!
Has anyone tested Acronis Backup and Recovery with oVirt? I am looking for a reliable way to backup guest oVirt disk images, config and state. So far I've tried the popular script by Daniel Berteaud 'virt-backup.pl' which works very well for our standard KVM systems but I found that I had to disable libvirtd's SASL authentication which caused oVirt to lose connectivity to the node and oVirt to fence the node. I thought I'd try a manual 'virsh save' but that causes oVirt to believe that the guest has gone down which causes the guest to be automatically migrated (I am running 2 nodes).
What experience have you had with backing up guests? I am not sure if Acronis is the best way forward?
