Hi there! I've been checking on OpenVZ for a while, waiting for it to become compatible with the newest Ubuntu, and it seems this might happen soon with Ubuntu 10.4 LTS. I haven't tried OpenVZ yet, as I see no point until it runs on my target Linux distribution. I have been using VirtualBox until now.

My setup is as follow:
1) One Productive server on the Internet, by a "provider".
2) One Test Server at home (same hardware).
3) A fast-download, but slow-upload, Internet connection.

My "development cycle" is as follow:
1) Make or use a backup of the production.
2) Download the backup from the prod to the test.
3) Try my new changes on the test,
reloading the backup until the "update scripts" works.
4) Make new backup from prod.
5) Perform changes on prod.
6) Test changes on prod.

What is the best way to setup the Containers and KVM VMs, so that this runs smoothly and keep the prod downtime to a minimum ? (by keeping the transfer duration to a minimum)
