Actually I am searching a backup and easy disaster recovery strategy.
I prefer to not put each vm on its lun because it seems very difficult to
manage. I would like to let ovirt manage my storage.
Snapshotting all storage can be an easy way to do backups if I can quickly
import again the storage domain and start an old version of a vm.
The other option I can evaluate is to use ovirt api for backups but, as far
as I know, there are no opensource backup solutions that use that api.
Am I right?
Thanks again,
Mario
