Hello all, We are developing a new plugin for supporting KVM backups for DELL/EMC Networker.
Unfortunately there is no straight way to do it (it's the same for almost all backup softwares out there) and we will need to access the hypervisor hosts directly and execute some custom scripts. As you understand this raises a series of design, implementation and operation decisions and issues and we think it's better if we ask for the advise of the community. For starters, the implementation of SLA based backups is not feasible due to Networker design and concepts. It is most likely feasible to utilize ad-hoc and scheduled backups (provided that are initiated by cloudstack). We wonder if we can utilize the ssh functionality from the management host to the hypervisors (that is used for example to restart ssh-agent if kvm.ssh.to.agent is enabled to execute a centralized script in bash that will be included in the cloudstack-agent. Is this approach acceptable ? Kind regards, -- p4nd0ra - the curious
