[Xen-users] Backup solution

[Jordi Espasa Clofent <sistemes.llistes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

We are planning to use XEN VPS in production environment. Before it we 
need to design a realiable backup policy for obvious reasons. I view two 
approaches:
a) Use a "snapshot" system for backup ALL VM file (image).
b) Use a traditional backup system (rsync, tar, cpio) for backup 
SELECTED data into VM.
I prefer A option but I've read in this list it is not possible unless 
you stop de VM during a few time (the time required for backup operation 
itself).
¿What backup solution do you use in your _production_ environment? The 
most important point is any downtime in VM is not viable.
