Unlike bootable, disk interface and such settings that are per relation
between a disk and a vm, the 'backup' (method) setting is a property of the
disk itself. If the disk was created with incremental backup enabled, it
would remain with incremental backup enabled when attached to a vm
The exact workflow is:
- The disk is created with incremental backup enabled
- The disk is attached to a vm(incremental backup is ok at this step)
- the vm is exported as a template
- *The disk of the new vm created from the template doesn't have the
incremental backup enabled!*
Sounds like the imported disk of the template is not set with incremental
backup,
what version of ovirt do you use?
As part of the fix for
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2081556,
which was merged to 4.5.1, we started writing the incremental-backup
property to OVAs (I assume you refer to export-to-OVA since you wrote that
you export a VM as a template) - if you use an older version (than 4.5.1),
this could explain it. Otherwise, please provide the output of:
select * from base_disks where disk_id in (select device_id from vm_device
where vm_id in (select vm_guid from vm_static where
vm_name='<template-name>'));
