Re: [Users] Backup functionality via Acronis and extracting snapshots

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?
