Re: [Xen-users] Xen Backup Method
Hello,
I want to properly backup on virtual servers. Has anyone tried lvm
backup with scripts or scheduled commands everyday? Could you shared
with me? And should be guests and Dom0 shutoff state before snapshot?
Another one, which directories should backup other than
/var/lib/xen/images?
thanks,

sounds promising. but:
1: its done from 'inside' the VM, so it might allow better network
backup systems but not replace them.
2: it does nothing about complex applications with their own caches
and file structures: IOW, databases. if you get an 'in VM' snapshot
capability, you still have to flush caches and suspend operations for
the snapshot.
