Hello,

I find there are function to take snapshot of VM. However, it looks there are no further setting for Backup option. Such as scheduler, backup location, restore etc.

Is that I am miss to read manual? coz I saw many user using third parties to handle the backup rather than official.

Please advise for this.

Thanks!

looks like there is no official backup solution, but you can look on this addon [https://github.com/OpenNebula/addon-image-backup](https://github.com/OpenNebula/addon-image-backup)

hello, no, it is CLI tool which is intended to run on backup server. In sunstone you can see if image is backuping right now, when backup started and when ended.
