Hi Jaime, thanks for reading and answering. I read the article about the the CERN use case, but in IMHO it's not the same. They use complete partition images for the VMs. The difference is, they make a dd of the VM-partition and i mount the VM- partition in the Dom0 and tar the files in the VM-partition. The tar-archive is my VM-image. The last days i looked at the scripts of the LVM Transfer Manager. Maybe it's possible to change these scripts that they do a mount&tar instead of a dd. But i don't know how the processes work in detail.
All suggestion are welcome. Regards Andreas > Hi Andreas, > > it seems that you have a similar use case as CERN does.
