Common Methods of Red Hat Backup for Virtual Machines
The Built-in Red Hat Backup Feature
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.
The Scripts
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!

Complete List of Backup Settings
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!
Scheduling Red Hat Virtualization Backup Actions
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.
