Hi all,

vzdump is an utility to make consistent snapshots of running OpenVZ VEs. It
basically creates a tar archive of the VE private area, which also includes
the VE configuration files.

There are several ways to provide consistency:

stop the VE during backup (very long downtime)
use rsync and suspend/resume (minimal downtime).
use LVM2 (no downtime)

vzdump is available at
http://www.proxmox.com/cms_proxmox/en/technology/oss-softwar e/openvz/

License: GPL

Please read the manual page for more information (man vzdump). Suggestions
and comments are welcome.

Best regards,

Dietmar
