[Xen-users] A simple backup

[Steve Spencer <sspencer@xxxxxxxx>]

All,

I've got one Xen server running CentOS 5, with 3 CentOS virtual machines 
on it.  I have what I hope is a simple question:
I'd like to backup the virtual machines.  I don't care about anything 
but the ability to restore a couple of files and be able to be back up 
and running quickly.  At some point I'll have a spare server ready to 
migrate running Xen vm's to, but at the moment it's a simple backup I'm 
looking for.  I googled and found this:
http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2008/03/13/now-where-are-my-domus/

My question is, if I just want to backup the currently running vm's can 
I just backup the disk images and config files or do I need to do as the 
article suggests and also backup machine states and memory images?
Thanks,
