Details

Specify a storage domain for backup purposes.

From https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/html/administration_guide/sect-backing_up_and_restoring_virtual_machines_using_a_backup_domain:

A backup storage domain is one that you can use specifically for storing and migrating virtual machines and virtual machine templates for the purpose of backing up and restoring for disaster recovery, migration, or any other backup/restore usage model. A backup domain differs from a non-backup domain in that all virtual machines on a backup domain are in a powered-down state. A virtual machine cannot run on a backup domain.

Solution

To specify a backup storage domain, click Storage > Domains > Manage Domain > Advanced Parameters > Check ‘Backup’ box
