Thank you for your reply Itamar.
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.
Ok, am I am guessing that for automated backups I should be able to script this using vdsClient?
either this, or copying the images directly from one of the nodes already connected to the storage by ovirt engine.
in 3.1, you should be able to live snapshot, then backup the snapshot from storage Unfortunately I've not had success with the live snapshots. My message with subject "oVirt live snapshot problem" to users@ovirt.org provides more information about the problem. How would one go about backing up the snapshot from storage?
same as a regular vm... via command line for now.

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?

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?
