in general, you are correct - you don't care about live snapshot with memory, since you probably mostly care about backing up the disks. you may care, depending on the type of guest, on having a qemu-guest-agent installed, which would help with syncing the writes to the disks before the live snapshot is taken.
something to test though is if a daily snapshot does not degrade the performance of the running VM, due to more COW layers (until the backup api and live merge are in place).
hello, coming back to this topic.
when you say " you may care, depending on the type of guest, on having a qemu-guest-agent installed, which would help with syncing the writes to the disks "
do you refer to something in particular already implemented as a command or something similar? I have a CentOS 6 guest with rhev-guest-agent taken by dreyu repoan dwould like to test what available in case.
Thanks, Gianluca
qemu-guest-agent isn't ovirt/rhev-guest-agent. now that qemu started their own guest agent, ovirt/rhev-guest-agent isn't used for things covered by the qemu-guest-agent.
