This involves : * saving vms without shutting down (Restoring them can be done with a halt). Is live snapshot enough for this? Is lvm or san snapshot recommended? * saving the postgres database (or only some of main tables). Can we do it without stopping engine and the risk of a data corruption? Is there a howto? Thank you for your help. -- Nathanaël Blanchet Supervision réseau Pôle exploitation et maintenance Département des systèmes d'information 227 avenue Professeur-Jean-Louis-Viala 34193 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 Tél. 33 (0)4 67 54 84 55 Fax 33 (0)4 67 54 84 14 blanchet@abes.fr --------------080409070709050803070307 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <font size="-1">Hi all,<br> <br> I 'd like to receive any usefull advices from the community about good practice of backing up ovirt with the restraint of zero down time.<br> This involves :<br> </font> <ul> <li><font size="-1">saving vms without shutting down (Restoring them can be done with a halt).
