I see 2 options :
- backup via snapshot
- snapshot on Gluster level and backup it

Of course last option is to do file backup from OS.

hi guys

Now with libgfapi support removed from qemu/libvirt -
certainly in binaries from oVirt repos for CentOS 9 - how
does one take qcow2 backups?
Would that be some specific options to mount gluster vol in
order to overcome:

-> $ qemu-img convert -O qcow2 ./ubuntu.qcow2.bkp ubuntu.qcow2
qemu-img: Could not open './ubuntu-tor.qcow2.bkp': Could not
open backing file: Failed to get shared "write" lock
Is another process using the image [/VMs3/ubuntu.qcow2]?

or perhaps 'qemu-img' can do the trick somehow?

all thoughts shared are much appreciated.
many thanks, L>
