Hi all,
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. 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?
See http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Backup_API
* 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?
For 3.3 you have share/ovirt-engine/bin/engine-backup.sh for usage please run it with --help You may do it without stopping the engine
Thank you for your help. -- Nathanaël Blanchet
