Dear All, One feature that I am really missing in oVirt is a foolproof (i.e., in a way that even I will be able to implement) scheduled (cron would be good) live VM backup that outputs ideally qcow2 files per disk plus an xml-configuration file that one could upload to a regular KVM host, in case that should be required. As far as I understand, that is not yet on the roadmap, correct? For my plain SOHO KVM hosts, I am using a script to do just that. While I almost never need the backups - files with a human readable text name which I know how to use on any freshly installed KVM host in case of a crash emergency -, I feel better keeping them available for some time period. Regards, Michael
You could write a script to interface with the api that creates a snapshot and then exports or copies that to a backup nfs share.... And then run that on a cron job.... On Jul 30, 2015 5:18 PM, "Prof. Dr. Michael Schefczyk" < michael@schefczyk.net> wrote:
