Backup VMs to external USB Disk

Hi all, I'm new in Ovirt and have tested a lot of things how to backup my VMS to a external USB Disk. How have you solved this Problem - have anybody a Tutorial or something similar for me? Thanks for your helps. Daniel

If you can plug the external USB disk to one of the hosts in the cluster, then you can export your VMs to OVAs and specify the mount point of that disk on that host as target.
Thanks for your helps.

oVirt does not provide an integrated way to define periodic tasks like that. So you need, e.g., to set up a cron job that executes a script that triggers the export_to_path_on_host API call - the script can do that via the python-sdk as you can find at [1] [1] https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/export_vm...
