[ovirt-users] [BACKUPS] oVirt 3.6 Backups

[Julian De Marchi]

heya--

Trying to get oVirt backups working after seeing the notifications in my 
admin interface that no backups have occurred.

I am having a few dramas running it. First if I just run engine-backup 
mode=backup it fails as it does not have a default option for a log 
file. So I musy run engine-backup --mode=backup --log=/var/log/ovirt-backup

Next once it runs it fails to notify the engine. Here is the output from 
the log file:

2015-11-16 09:34:57 28124: OUTPUT: Notifying engine
2015-11-16 09:34:57 28124: pg_cmd running: psql -w -U engine -h 
localhost -p 5432  engine -t -c SELECT LogEngineBackupEvent('files', 
now(), -1, 'Failed', '$HOSTNAME', '/tmp/test');
psql: fe_sendauth: no password supplied
2015-11-16 09:34:57 28124: FATAL: Failed notifying engine

now(), -1, 'Failed notifying engine', '$HOSTNAME', '/tmp/test');

Any help with this would be great!

Thanks a lot.
