He wants to offer HIS customers the ability that if they blow up their windows xp box, he can just relaunch the vm pointing to the backup disk image. To do this, it seemed much easier to be able to do a cp live-disk.img backup-disk.img versus doing a dd or ? to create a backup. Hm actually does anyone have any input on that? is "cp file1 file2" faster than a "dd if=/dev/volumes/file1 of=/dev/volumes/file2"? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
