Hi all,

I need advices about backing up vms.
At this point, I can count three possible levels of backup:

  * lun snapshot on a FC/iSCSI SAN, but we save the whole storage domain
  * vm snapshot with the qemu capabilities
  * file system backup with a system like rsnaphot

afaik, it will be possible to make LVM snapshot in the upcoming 3.6

To my mind the most convinient backup is the vm snapshot level, but the=20
backup API provided since 3.4 is difficult to use. At the end of=20
december, Lucas Vandroux (ovirt china) announciated the avaibility of=20
vm-backup-scheduler=20
(https://github.com/ovirt-china/vm-backup-scheduler), but I never=20
managed to make it work.

A colleague told me about veam backup for backing up at vm level, but it=20
seems to support only hyper-V and vmware. Does it exist some equivalent?

Good practices of senior sysadmin are welcome!
