Hi, what is the best way to make daily backups of my VM's without shutting them down? I found the Backup-Restore API and other stuff but no running tool/script which I can use. I plan to integrate it into backuppc. Or is there any "Best practice guide for backup"? ;-) In the meantime I integrated engine-backup into backuppc as a pre-script. cheers gregor

IIUC you know the technical part of the topic but you want somebody will write for you backup scripts? j.

Hi, no this was not my intention. I was searching what is currently available and possible. After this I wrote a little online-fullbackup-tool and published it on github. https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup cheers gregor ps: sorry for double sending, I forget to cc it to the list On 2015-08-31 12:26, Jiri Belka wrote:
