Hello,
This should work providing the guests are shut down or paused.
Doing this while the guests are running normally would almost certainly
render the backup unusable.
Regards,
Daniel

Subject: [rhelv5-list] OT: backing up lvm2 xen disks
Hi all,
I need to backup two xen server hosts with several lvm partitions to
store xen guests data (all guests are para-virtualized CentOS guests).
My intention it is to do a full backup of lvm2 partition where SO
resides ( I don't have created
lvm2 partitions with snapshot option). Will this procedure works?
To backup
- dd if=/dev/sysvol/vol01 of=backup.img
to restore on another xen host with different name on lvm2 volumes:
- dd if=backup.img of=/dev/xenhostvol/xenguestvol01
Many thanks.
