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

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