Zing,

You can use LVM2 as "virtual hard discs" for your virtual machines. So you can use the LVM tools to backup, to make snapshots, etc...

Hello everybody,
My name is Zign and I would like to ask a simple question.
For example, I want to backup my VMs everyday. But I do not
want them to be stopped while the backup. For this reason, I can't
use a traditional way like: freeze the VM -> backup everything ->
restore the VM.
So is there any solution for this?
