Hmm, vzdump is cool, but what it reaqlly does? AFAIK it does rsync, then freezez VE, rsyncs again, then resume.
|
vzdump has different modes. if you work with LVM snapshots you have no freeze and no downtime.
1. Stop the VE during backup (very long downtime)
2. Use rsync and suspend/resume (minimal downtime)
3. Use LVM2 (no downtime, online)
|
The third option seems interesting, but requires a different setup than the one I'm using right now. However, I'll take note of it for the future.
Thanks.
