[Users] Backup functionality via Acronis

[David Wilson]

Hi guys,

First off well done to the oVirt contributors - it is an excellent product!

Has anyone tested Acronis Backup and Recovery with oVirt?
I am looking for a reliable way to backup guest oVirt disk images, 
config and state. So far I've tried the popular script by Daniel 
Berteaud 'virt-backup.pl'  which works very well for our standard KVM 
systems but I found that I had to disable libvirtd's SASL authentication 
which caused oVirt to lose connectivity to the node and oVirt to fence 
the node.
I thought I'd try a manual 'virsh save' but that causes oVirt to believe 
that the guest has gone down which causes the guest to be automatically 
migrated (I am running 2 nodes).

What experience have you had with backing up guests? I am not sure if 
Acronis is the best way forward?
