Hi All,
I love oVirt, have been running it for some weeks now. I have read the wiki page on
backups, and have set up an engine backup.
The backing up of VMs is where it gets more tricky. There must be more people already
doing this, but I just would like some script that takes my vm name as an argument, and
saves a backup (snapshot) of the vm.
If someone could help me, that would be awesome. If there is an even easier way to do it
(copying files on the FS itself?), that could be even better.
I know this question has been asked multiple times over the last years, but I can not find
an actual, working, documented way of doing this.
Thanks so much, and thanks for creating/maintaining/fixing/building oVirt!

Hi,
We use this one but there are other ones around.
https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup
Most common seems to be people taking a snapshot, mounting it, and then dd / rsync the
content away instead of whole VM.
Cheers,
