Backup Solution Suggestion - Cloudstack Cluster With KVM

[clemylton]

Hi everyone,

I'm conducting a POC with Cloudstack and have set up a 4-node cluster. I'm testing some backup options and would like suggestions for solutions that can back up at the virtual machine level.
I'd like to create a basic backup routine with one-week retention.

Any suggestions?

@rajujith can you advice on this?

Hi guys
I'd just like to know what everyone has been using, if it's worked well and met expectations. I've seen some options for KVM virtualization solutions, but I'd like suggestions specifically for Cloudstack.

@clemylton You can use the NAS backup plugin with KVM: https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/adminguide/virtual_machines.html#instance-backups-backup-and-recovery-feature
