[ovirt-users] NFS Storage domain backup

[Mohyedeen Nazzal]

Thanks Sven,

Detaching the domain is not an option, sorry if did not make it clear i
meant to backup the storage domain while VMs are running.

Also regarding the Live Snapshot option, The live snapshot simply create a
second hardisk for the VM and start to write on it.. it does not do any
backup just a restore point.

Thanks,
Mohye.
