Hi Ofri, Thank you very much, you understood correctly, I was looking for a method of making an entire image basically, but misunderstood what a snapshot was, so thanks for clearing that up. Much appreciated. Regards. Neil Wilson. On Mon, Mar 11, 2013 at 2:55 PM, Ofri Masad <omasad@redhat.com> wrote:
Hi Neil,
If I understand you correctly, you are looking for a way to save the full state of the VM+Disks like an image. Snapshots are actually just delta from the former state. that is the reason they do not consume as much space as a full image.
What you can do is use the export feature for VMs. just export the VM. by doing so you are saving both the VM state and the Disks state. Of course, this would require more space than used in a snapshot.

Hi guys,
I'm working on automating snapshots(not live, just paused) from my oVirt setup at the moment, but I can't seem to find out how to export the snapshots for backing up purposes so they can be moved to another storage domain etc.
Please could someone point me in the right direction
Thank you!
Regards.
