In detail: I have Dom0 with md (software mirror) and lvm on top. Nightly I make lvm snapshot for each DomU (make sure that it is large enough not to overfill while doing backup). Then I export those lvm snapshots to dedicated backup DomU which boots on and after backup job shuts down itself. Then remove snapshots. I use this in production successfully for a couple of months. andris _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
