Hello,
In principle you can simply backup VM image files. However there is one
condition and that is that the backup must be done with the VM turned
off or done by somehow (I don't know how) making the VM pause and flush
everything to disk. Otherwise you risk to have a backup that when
restored will cause running the VM to fail due to an inconsistent disk
image. I am not very familiar with KVM, and it might have a KVM tool
that allows you to make a consistent copy of the VM image much like
postgresql and mysql do.
Best regards,
Kern

Hello
I'm going to use Bacula for the first time. I have a virtual server
running on 10 KVM. Is it a problem if I back up all of them with
Bacula? I have Qcow2 disk images. I want to backup these disk images
just like a file.
Is this a problem ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
