How would I copy the image directly? On the node that contains the
vm I see the following mounted:<br>
/rhev/data-center/mnt/blockSD/0e6991ae-6238-4c61-96d2-ca8fed35161e/master
and inside it I see the .ovf file:<br>
vms/23b9212c-1e25-4003-aa18-b1e819bf6bb1/23b9212c-1e25-4003-aa18-b1e819bf6bb1.ovf<br>
Please excuse my ignorance but where do I find the guest's file
system image and copy it out?<br>

Ok, am I am guessing that for automated backups I should be able

Unfortunately I've not had success with the live snapshots. My

<br>
you can export a VM to an NFS export domain, then back it up.
<br>
you can stop the VM and backup the data from NFS/Block

<br>
in 3.1, you should be able to live snapshot, then backup the

First off well done to the oVirt contributors - it is an
excellent
<br>
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,
<br>
config and state. So far I've tried the popular script
by Daniel
<br>
Berteaud 'virt-backup.pl' which works very well for our
standard KVM
<br>
systems but I found that I had to disable libvirtd's
SASL
<br>
authentication which caused oVirt to lose connectivity
to the node
<br>
and oVirt to fence the node.
<br>
I thought I'd try a manual 'virsh save' but that causes
oVirt to
<br>
believe that the guest has gone down which causes the
guest to be
<br>
automatically migrated (I am running 2 nodes).
<br>
<br>
What experience have you had with backing up guests? I
am not sure if
<br>
Acronis is the best way forward?
