    Thank you for your reply Itamar.<br>
    <br>
    &gt;you can export a VM to an NFS export domain, then back it up.
    <br>
    &gt;you can stop the VM and backup the data from NFS/Block directly.
    <br>
    <br>
    Ok, am I am guessing that for automated backups I should be able to
    script this using vdsClient?<br>
    <br>
    &gt;in 3.1, you should be able to live snapshot, then backup the
    snapshot from storage
    <br>
    Unfortunately I've not had success with the live snapshots. My
    message with subject "oVirt live snapshot problem" to
    <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:users@ovirt.org">users@ovirt.org</a> provides more information about the problem.<br>
    How would one go about backing up the snapshot from storage?<br>

            <br>
            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?
