Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your comments.

It's a good point. Eliminating a copy operation would be good or bad depending on your environment. For my setup, I have Data Domains on FC storage and Export Domain on a NFS share. For a VM with large disks, exporting directly from snapshot would effect the performance of VM because export destination is on NFS and usually slower than FC. But if your data and export is on NFS there will be no performance impact adversely it will boost the backup process.

In any way, it is a nice to have this feature as an option in Bacchus and it is in my plans.


I would appreciate if you test Bacchus and share your experiences with us.

All the best,
Niyazi

Hi Niyazi,

 

Thanks for sharing with the community! There is definitely a need for this.  

 

Just curious -- do you have plans to allow direct exporting of a VM snapshot? That would eliminate one copy operation.  

 

Best,

Daniel

Sorry for bothering but I forgot to mention that it's a backup solution based on oVirt Python SDK and a fancy web UI.


Cheers.

Dear Community,

I have been working on Bacchus for a while. The idea behind the Bacchus has emerged from an internal need at my company. This is my first open-source project and I would like to share this experience with all of you. If you are interested you may check it out at this page https://github.com/openbacchus/bacchus

I am not a code geek, so I am sorry for the future bugs in advance. I would like to draw your attention that Bacchus is not ready for production yet. It works well when all conditions are met (in a healthy oVirt/RHEV-M env.) but needs some more improvement on error handling.

Hope you enjoy it. Please contact me for any issues.


King Regards,
