API's for ISV Backup Software (Acronis BR) to carry out Agentless Backups of RHEV virtual machines...

Latest response

Tricky question this, not sure where to ask. I am tld that Acronis Backup & Recovery cannot take backups of RHEV vms because the necessary API's are not available. Not sure at all if this has anything to do with REST API (which is available of course). Can anyone shed any light on this matter?

Hmm I think someone here should be able to help you out with an answer to this one.. stay tuned

thanks, hope so!

Hi Eniton, thank you for asking this question. I too would like to hear an answer to your question.
Anybody?

The only thing I can say is that I called Acronis a while ago, they told me that they could not support rhev agent less backup because the red hat storage apis where not available.

I double checked with one the red hat architect solution and he promptly said that the rhev storage apis where actually available http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Backup-Restore_API_Integration

So the question went back to acronis and they said that maybe there will be something ready for December 2014.

Hi all,

There is some information on how to use the backup and restore API in the current RHEV 3.5 beta documentation. You can find the relevant sections here:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.5-Beta/html-single/Administration_Guide/index.html#sect-Backing_Up_and_Restoring_Virtual_Machines_Using_the_Backup_and_Restore_API

A little more information on the API will be added in future releases of the documentation.

Is this the kind of information you are after, or is there anything else you're looking for?

Kind regards,

Andrew
