oVirt backup and VM pauses.

Hello, I'm using oVirt and recently added backup functionality using this script: https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup This script runs every day from cron, but i noticed very bad behavior with the machines. Script on some stage pauses them, and it leads to problems. I have NTP stratum 2 server as a virtual machine, which I added to pool.ntp.org. When machine pauses, it loses time sync for a while and NTP.ORG monitoring system removes this machine from pool. And it take about a 24 hours to get good score to be included int the pool again, then next backup time arrives, and so on. So my question is - any suggestion to prevent this behavior or any other backup solution without pausing available? Best regards, Misak Khachatryan

I noticed similar behavior, I think if the memory state isn't backed-up then the machines won't be paused. Not seen an option in script to 'flip' the flag, but then again I haven't looked at the script in enough detail to see what needs changing.
