Thank you Cristian. I will test that in a minute. Is there some documentation about the structure of these directories (and same question about mailboxes)? -- Nicolas ECARNOT ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [ovirt-users] VM physical export
I copied images and master from the source export domain and "merged" on the destination export domain. Then the vms were imported just fine...
