Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) software contain a dedicated "Snapshots" function, allowing Red Hat backup and restore with a single click. This tool is simple and stable, but lacks any automation, which problem is common for most administrative-level backup methods.
Backup scripts are the most common methods among the "advanced" administrators and other IT staff. Scripts allow flexibility and some level of automation. However, using (not mentioning writing) scripts requires some skills and experience; in other ways, it can cause many disastrous consequences!
To save your Red Hat virtualization backup data to some remote place, you can use an external USB drive, or call to online backup on FTP/SFTP/FTPS servers, the HBDrive backup storage, or a cloud service such as Amazon S3, Dropbox, Google Drive or any clouds supporting WebDAV.
You can give your Red Hat backup in full, incremental, differential or mixed (full/differential) modes, store many versions of a same Red Hat virtual machine backup, compress and encrypt data, take cold and hot backups controlling RHEV instances just from a task, and do many other useful things!
Handy Backup allows scheduling any Red Hat backup and restore tasks precisely to an exact time to run and a repeating period from just a minute to several months. It also allows starting a task by some system event such as user logon/logoff to a system or plugging a USB drive into a physical frame.
