Hi guys,

First off well done to the oVirt contributors - it is an excellent product!

Has anyone tested Acronis Backup and Recovery with oVirt?
I am looking for a reliable way to backup guest oVirt disk images,=20
config and state. So far I've tried the popular script by Daniel=20
Berteaud 'virt-backup.pl'  which works very well for our standard KVM=20
systems but I found that I had to disable libvirtd's SASL authentication=20
which caused oVirt to lose connectivity to the node and oVirt to fence=20
the node.
I thought I'd try a manual 'virsh save' but that causes oVirt to believe=20
that the guest has gone down which causes the guest to be automatically=20
migrated (I am running 2 nodes).

What experience have you had with backing up guests? I am not sure if=20
Acronis is the best way forward?
