      @romo we've got several places where we might want to use that, and more soon.

      Why? Agentless VM Level backups are useless. You've said that often enough.

      May I upvote this 100 times... 😄

        If you don't like "Agentless" this product is not for you....(not you @JaredBusch )

        Jared likes Agentless. I tend to not like them, it's non-portable. And that specific thing hits us already with our current backups at some clients. So to address limitations of their existing agentless system, and their mix of hypervisors, kludges like this are necessary. Or a move off of their current agentless infrastructure that they paid a lot for.

            Stop acting like I've ever said this. I said agent based is often better, and in the example here I just demonstrated why agentless caused a need for two backup systems instead of one. Please don't encouraging repeating things that people don't say, because some people actually start to believe that that has been said, they are that gullible.

                I get it, but people start to repeat that stuff quickly and truly start to believe that there is a group who thinks that things are black and white and certain things that should be grey areas are actually black and white. Like instead of "agentless is rarely the best option" people start to believe "agent based is the only option." Or at least believe that a group of people claim such. It's happened a lot. RAID is a good example.

                  CBT (in the o/s) is "rumored" to be coming in the 7.6 release of RHEL/CentOS.

                    Which will be awesome. Windows Server 2016 has this, but it doesn't work well. I had it setup previously and it corrupted our test share. We had to disable it and revert to our backup.

                        This was a combination, Xen Orchestra and something else for the file level ( I don't recall which atm ) but it was a name brand one. Maybe it was Backup Exec ( I honestly can't remember )

                            Backup & Restore...

                            Fedora 28 vm (in my homelab), full backup was taken this afternoon:
                            0_1534725689869_screenshot_2.png

                            I restored the vm to a different Fedora 28 host (at the co-lo)

                            On the left is the original vm (homelab), on the right is the "restored" vm (co-lo)

                                I've loosey been reading the posts on this but what is oVirt? Is it just a management thing for KVM or is it and KVM based hypervisor in it's self?

                                    Think of it as the KVM equivalent of vmWare vSphere.

                                      So would you only use it in a "cluster" of servers?

                                        You can do a single node or 3 nodes. (nodes aka hosts)
                                        Those are your typical setups.

                                          oVirt single node gluster install

                                          In the next release (which will 4.2.7), you'll be able to deploy a single node install from Cockpit UI.
