Can I shedule a VM backup with Ovirt Manager GUI. If possible, Pls let me know.
Not at this moment, and this is not planned for the future, afaik.
Thanks for the direct Answer. Why 's that? Can you guys go ahead without* EASY BACKUP Solution*, When other Products like VMWare are around?
VMware provides a utility with similar functionality to oVirt's backup
tool. In order to properly backup a VMWare setup and VMs you will need to pay money for the relevant backup product.
Did you play with the other SDK examples etc suggested during this thread?
May I suggest that this is best done as a plugin/contribution to a backup solution, not standalone. I guess most sites with more than a few hosts use some such solution - FOSS (amanda/bacula/backuppc/etc) or proprietary (netbackup/backupexec/acronis/etc) - and backup of VMs (ovirt or other) should be handled in this scope.
I have used bacula before. My question is how to backup VMs running in Ovirt? When I can't pinpoint a VM Image? Will I have to take Whole storage such as NSF, ISCSI or SAN (i.e - FC)
Them, How to restore?
Could you pls answer?
Using the backup API[1] you should be capable of scripting such a task.

Searching the net I manage to find [1] and [2], which might be what you want. Note that I never tried any of them myself.
