Re: [Xen-users] Xen Backup Method

[Brian Krusic <brian@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Umut,

You can do this;

1 - Create an LVM and put your dom0/domU(s) there.
2 - Create a snapshot volume of that LVM.
3 - Dump|Restore from the snapshot to secondary disk and/or network.

I have custom dom0 settings like startup params and network bridge  
scripts fromage, etc... so I like having a dom0 backup.
In my case, I have 2 disks, where I dump restore from disk 1 to disk 2  
and then copy to the network.  I've designed it so if disk 1 fails, I  
can boot from disk 2 immediately.  And if the machine or its env fail  
(like the server room over heating, flooding, earthquake, etc...), I  
can restore from network backup.
Your philosophy should be first and foremost; its not a question of if  
but when.
Technology sux major major a#@ and will be the death of us all,  
however its too late to go back so prepare for the worst and pray for  
the best.
- Brian
