[Users] backup virtual machine configuration
Dear users of ovirt.org, we are making a virtual environment with oVirt. We are wondering if there are any command line tools to make backups of configuration of virtual machines. Like a tool to list all virtual machines in a cluster and then make backup one by one into a file (and restore later). We know that we can make backup of the whole postgresql database. Thank you, Best Regards, Andrej

you can use python or java SDK to get all vms in cluser, then you export them to an export domain (if vms disks are important as well) and later use import. you can also save the result of the query to some file and read it later to creating the vms

or the python SDK, or easiest for automation, the ovirt-shell which is a CLI
