You can use= this to backup the RHEV-M database(s) as well as restore. Of course this = won't backup the Guest OS itself. My DR strategy is to simply copy off these engine-backup files to another l= ocation. If the hosted-engine needs to be restored for some reason I will = just recreate the OS and restore the engine database.
