does --suspend causing downtime of the VE? if yes how long? in the case a VE have used 40GB of disk space.
i tried to use --snapshot, but it seems that it wants to create new partition on the LVM, while all the space on my disk already allocated to /vz (it's on LVM)
i do have a second HDD which is formated to ext3, can i used it as the backup destination? and how to do it?
i know that there is an option for the backup destination on vzdump, but as i said before, vzdump tried to make new partition on LVM (which is on the main HDD not in the secondary. I intended to backup on the second HDD)
thank yous
Best Regards,
Markus

vzdump does complete backups, only the log files (/var/log/*)
and /tmp/ and /var/tmp are excluded (to save space)

Please use --snapshot if the VE root is on a LVM2 partition
Else use --suspend
