Sounds like a Chicken/Egg problem.

Well, real world is community...
Maybe change the name of the thread in order to make this more clear for
someone from the community that might be able to could help.
Maybe something like:
Request for sharing real world example of VM backups.
We obviously use it as part as developing, but I don't have what you're asking
for.
If you try it yourself and stumble onto questions in the process, please ask
the list and we'll do our best to help.

Vered,
It sounds like Soeren already knows about that page. His issue seems to be,
as well as the issue of others judging by comments on here, is that there
aren’t any real world examples of how the API is used.

Subject: [ovirt-users] Backup and Restore of VMs
Dear all,
ovirt: 3.5
gluster: 3.6.1
OS: CentOS 7 (except ovirt hosted engine = centos 6.6)
i spent quite a while researching backup and restore for VMs right now, so
far I have come up with this as a start for us
- API calls to create schedule snapshots of virtual machines
This is or short term storage and to guard against accidential deletion
within the VM but not for storage corruption
- Since we are using a gluster backend, gluster snapshots
I wasn’t able so far to really test it since the LV needs to be thin
provisioned and we did not do that in the setup
For the API calls we have the problem that we can not find any existing
scripts or something like that to do those snapshots (and i/we are not
developers enough to do that).
As an additional information, we have a ZFS based storage with
deduplication
that we use for other backup purposes which does a great job especially
because of the deduplication (we can storage generations of backups
without
problems), this storage can be NFS exported and used as backup repository.
Are there any backup and restore procedure you guys are using for backup
and
restore that works for you and can you point me into the right direction ?
I am a little bit list right now and would appreciate any help.
Regards
Soeren
