The Virtual Server Agent (VSA) provides unified protection and recovery for virtual machines that run in oVirt on KVM. You can create a virtualization client, perform backups, restore full virtual machines, and monitor virtual machine protection operations.
To use the Virtual Server Agent with oVirt on KVM, configure a virtualization client using the Red Hat option. You can change the name of the instance after creating the client.
For other operations, follow the documentation for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization.
