Dear all,
ovirt: 3.5
gluster: 3.6.1
OS: CentOS 7 (except ovirt hosted engine = centos 6.6)
i spent quite a while researching backup and restore for VMs right now, so far I have come up with this as a start for us
- API calls to create schedule snapshots of virtual machines This is or short term storage and to guard against accidential deletion within the VM but not for storage corruption
- Since we are using a gluster backend, gluster snapshots I wasn’t able so far to really test it since the LV needs to be thin provisioned and we did not do that in the setup
For the API calls we have the problem that we can not find any existing scripts or something like that to do those snapshots (and i/we are not developers enough to do that).
As an additional information, we have a ZFS based storage with deduplication that we use for other backup purposes which does a great job especially because of the deduplication (we can storage generations of backups without problems), this storage can be NFS exported and used as backup repository.
Are there any backup and restore procedure you guys are using for backup and restore that works for you and can you point me into the right direction ?
I am a little bit list right now and would appreciate any help.

Dear Vered,
at some point we have to start, and right now we are getting closer, even with the documentation it is sometime hard to find the correct place to start, especially without specific examples (and I have decades of experience now)
with the backup plugin that came from Lucas Vandroux we have a starting point right now, and we will continue form here and try to work with him on this.
Regards Soeren

Sounds like a Chicken/Egg problem.

Well, real world is community... Maybe change the name of the thread in order to make this more clear for someone from the community that might be able to could help. Maybe something like: Request for sharing real world example of VM backups.
We obviously use it as part as developing, but I don't have what you're asking for. If you try it yourself and stumble onto questions in the process, please ask the list and we'll do our best to help.
Best Regards, Vered

Vered,
It sounds like Soeren already knows about that page. His issue seems to be, as well as the issue of others judging by comments on here, is that there aren’t any real world examples of how the API is used.

Dear all,
ovirt: 3.5
gluster: 3.6.1
OS: CentOS 7 (except ovirt hosted engine = centos 6.6)
i spent quite a while researching backup and restore for VMs right now, so far I have come up with this as a start for us
- API calls to create schedule snapshots of virtual machines This is or short term storage and to guard against accidential deletion within the VM but not for storage corruption
- Since we are using a gluster backend, gluster snapshots I wasn’t able so far to really test it since the LV needs to be thin provisioned and we did not do that in the setup
For the API calls we have the problem that we can not find any existing scripts or something like that to do those snapshots (and i/we are not developers enough to do that).
As an additional information, we have a ZFS based storage with deduplication that we use for other backup purposes which does a great job especially because of the deduplication (we can storage generations of backups without problems), this storage can be NFS exported and used as backup repository.
Are there any backup and restore procedure you guys are using for backup and restore that works for you and can you point me into the right direction ?
I am a little bit list right now and would appreciate any help.
Regards
Soeren

Hi, that is exactly right, altough we are getting closer now, we are just checking the plugins that were posted a few days ago https://github.com/ovirt-china/vm-backup-scheduler they seem to work pretty good so far, I will talk to a few developers after the holidays and see whether we can improve something, we already translated a few things in those plugins from mandarin to English. We will have a look into improvements of that plugin. I will keep you guys posted.
