Hi Diedo,

thank you for your input.
Unfortunatly xen-create-image is part of xen tools, so it is only available on Debian.
I am using Xen 3.4 on Oracle VM, so I don't have xen-tools available : that's why I am looking for "native" xen tools to copy / clone / backup my vms.

Regards,
Andrea

Hi Andrea,

You can see the manpage of xen-create-image: http://man.cx/xen-create-image%288%29, I believe you are search a command like this...

Regards,

Diego

Hi all,

I started studying xen to implement some HA cluster hosting multiple guests.
I am realizing that xen does not provide any native way to hot-clone or hot-backup a guest.

Am I right ?

Is there any way to how backup a virtual machine? Or is suspend - copy  - resume the only possible tecnique ?
Is there any way to clone a virtual machine?
Do vm snapshots exists?

Thank you for every answer!

Andrea
