[ovirt-users] schedule a VM backup in ovirt 3.5

[Indunil Jayasooriya]

Hi list,

I want to *schedule a VM backup* in ovirt 3.5. I read below URL.
<http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release35.rpm>

http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Backup-Restore_API_Integration#Full_VM_Backups

It gives an below example of VM backup


Example for VM Backup

   - Use existing VM Snapshot/Create a vm snapshot (example):

 URL = SERVER:PORT/api/vms/VM_ID/snapshots
 Method = POST
 (with Content-Type:application/xml header)
 Body =
 <snapshot>
 <description>Virtual Machine 1 - Snapshot For Backup</description>
 </snapshot>



But, How can I find the *VM_ID* of the VM that I want to backup?

How can I write this below format?

 URL = SERVER:PORT/api/vms/VM_ID/snapshots

MY Ovirt Engine manager is running on another PC. (let's say
engine.example.com ) i can access it by typing
https://engine.example.com/

is it https://engine.example.com/api/vms/*VM_ID*/snapshots ? I can't
access it in firefox browser?


Should I write a script? is there any Youtube video or doc that makes
me to understand this?

Hope to hear from you.
