Hi guys,<br>
<br>
First off well done to the oVirt contributors - it is an excellent
product!<br>
<br>
Has anyone tested Acronis Backup and Recovery with oVirt?<br>
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.<br>
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).<br>
<br>
What experience have you had with backing up guests? I am not sure
if Acronis is the best way forward?<br>
<br>
