Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Oracle VM 3.2.9 - REFLINKS - Backup

Jan 13, 2015 6:37AM in Oracle VM (OVM) (MOSC) Question

Good Day All,

We are wanting to backup our VM's via reflinks :

Create Reflinks
Export Repository Via NFS
Backup Via NetBackup

Simple script :

#!/bin/bash

SOURCE="/OVS/Repositories/0004fb0000030000fdbdec5b723c0b7b/VirtualDisks/"

DESTINATION="/OVS/Repositories/0004fb0000030000fdbdec5b723c0b7b/Snapshots/"

for i in `ls $SOURCE`; do

reflink -f $SOURCE$i $DESTINATION/$i.$(date +%Y%m%d-%h%M%S);

done

Is this viable and a reliable method as I am very new to using reflinks ?

Regards
