Hi Guys, Can you please suggest a good backup tool for ovirt virtual machines..? Thanks Shashank

Hi Shashank, You can use the new incremental backup feature, which available for a tech preview for ovirt 4.4. You can find the feature page here [1], although it requires some updating. For more details, the session from DevConf 2020 conference is available here [2] Also, there's a Python SDK script for backup a VM using incremental backup new API [3] Adding Eyal and Nir for more insights/details +Eyal Shenitzky <eshenitz@redhat.com> +Nir Soffer <nsoffer@redhat.com> A former discussion on the users' list can be found here [4] [1] https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/storage/incrementa...

It seems it is not so; see this thread and errors received in 4.4 and latest answer from Nir: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/CWLMCHTSWDNOLFU... I too hoped to be able to test in 4.4. without going to master... Gianluca

I wrote a simple un-official ansible playbook to backup full VMs here: https://github.com/silverorange/ovirt_ansible_backup -- it works great for my use case, but it is more geared toward smaller environments. For commercial software I'd take a look at vProtect (it's free for up to 10 VMs) I've heard some rumblings about incremental backup support in 4.4 as some others have suggested but don't have much knowledge on the subject.
