Scenario using WEB GUI : Create snapshot of any running VM, right-click on snapshot, select =93clone= =94 In pop-up window you can enter new VM name etc, under =93resource allocatio= n=94 section *you can select where it will be created* Scenario using python-sdk/ovirt-api I was trying to create vm for example like this: ## vm_params =3D params.VM(name=3Dvm_from_list + '__bak', cluster=3Dapi.cluste= rs.get("Default"), storage_domain=3Dapi.storagedomains.get("temp"), memory= =3Dvm.get_memory(), snapshots=3Dsnapshots_param) api.vms.add(vm_params) ## # temp is =84other=93 storage domain, NFS v3 VM will be still created on same storage as original VM, no matter what dom= ain I will define in params... Also tried other variations, using templates, disk profiles and so on, but = nothing has changed where new VM is created. I know cloning is not intended for backup purpose, but it is workaround pro= bably half of Ovirt users use. In my case, it is not very smart to do snapshot and create VM (allocate dis= k space, etc) on same storage domain where there is already running a lot o= f VMs, environment is already busy.

Scenario using WEB GUI :
Create snapshot of any running VM, right-click on snapshot, select “clone”
In pop-up window you can enter new VM name etc, under “resource allocation” section **you can select where it will be created**
Scenario using python-sdk/ovirt-api
I was trying to create vm for example like this:
##
vm_params = params.VM(name=vm_from_list + '__bak', cluster=api.clusters.get("Default"), storage_domain=api.storagedomains.get("temp"), memory=vm.get_memory(), snapshots=snapshots_param)
api.vms.add(vm_params)
##
# temp is „other“ storage domain, NFS v3
VM will be still created on same storage as original VM, no matter what domain I will define in params...
Also tried other variations, using templates, disk profiles and so on, but nothing has changed where new VM is created.
I know cloning is not intended for backup purpose, but it is workaround probably half of Ovirt users use.

Hi, if you have issues or improvements please post this on github to improve the backup tool. https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup/issues regards gregor On 20/01/16 10:20, Algirdas Žemaitis wrote:

Diff: moded version is doing backup for all running VMS in cluster, trying to clone VM into different storage domain (avoiding load on main domain) Please remove "iterration" if statement, I was using it to stop script from doing backup for all VMs (testing)
