Hi Grace, ovirt 4.3 reached EOL more than a year ago, upgrading to ovirt 4.4 is strongly recommended.

Ovirt is free and open-source :) https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/#Upgrading_from_4-3 Best regards, Mark On Wed, Oct 20, 2021 at 2:43 PM Grace Chen <hippoqian(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > It’s company software, not sure if they can upgrade or not, is it free to > uograde? > > > On Wed, Oct 20, 2021 at 7:33 AM Mark Kemel <mkemel(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote: > >> Hi Grace, >> >> ovirt 4.3 reached EOL more than a year ago, upgrading to ovirt 4.4 is >> strongly recommended. >> >> Mark >> >> >> >> On Wed, Oct 20, 2021 at 2:24 PM Grace Chen <hippoqian(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: >> >>> >>> >>> I want to use python script running from a host to automate the remote >>> kvm manager's vm backup.

Am I installing on the correct place, do I need to use the python script only on the host that installed the kvm manager? (Copied from private mail in case it is useful for others) ovirt-imageio-client was released in 4.4, and is not compatible with python 2. In general the client supports older version of ovirt server (e.g. 4.3), but it is not tested in this configuration. You can try to create a vm with centos 8 and ovirt-release44.rpm and install the client in this vm. Then you can run the backups on the vm, and store the backups in NFS server accessed by this "backup" vm. Note that you will get much better performance with ovirt 4.4., when running the client directly on the ovirt host. 4.4. also supports incremental backup, which is much faster and simpler compared with snapshot based backup that you probably plan to use.\
