Hi,
I'm trying to draft up a backup policy for a batch of openvz vms I've recently installed. I noticed you have a xdelta option in vzdump, but there is no documentation on how to use it. For instance, I want to setup a full backup on sundays and incremental ones for the rest of the week. If I vzdump first on sunday, I assume every vzdump --xdelta will take that backup as it's basis. How should I go about restoring, say, wednesday's backup? What happens the next time I create a full backup? There's absolutelly no info on the wiki (the option isn't even mentioned) and I can't find anything online either.
Since backups are considered somewhat important by some, I'd really like to know how I can use this feature.
Also, in a somewhat related note, if I set up a proxmox server, do the VMs get. I mean something akin to it's own partition)? Should the backups be done with --snapshot in proxmox?
Thank you in advance for your help.
