+Backup
+======
+
+Cluster is meant to have a very high fail over but you might want to be able to
+have some backup in case of a disaster recovery.
+Another scenario is that you need to run a copy of a guest on a server outside
+the cluster.
+To achieve that we have to "take out" vdi from the cluster.
+This is rather easy to do:
+
+::
+
+ qemu-img convert -O qcow2 sheepdog:squeeze /media/nas/squeeze.qcow2
+
+To backup a snapshot named 'preUpgrade'
+
+::
+
+ qemu-img convert -O qcow2 sheepdog:squeeze:preUpgrade /media/nas/squeeze_preUpgrade.qcow2
