Looks really great, thanks! Can I put it to download.openvz.org/contrib/? I am also interested in putting your template.

From the quick review (no testing yet) I see the following really nice things:
* LVM2 support
* a man page
* the fact that you honour both /etc/vz/vz.conf and /etc/vz/conf/$VEID.conf
* rpm/deb packages

Problems:
* in fact the only problem I see is that the source tarball does not contain the top-level directory (usually $NAME-$VERSION/), so if you untar it all the files are extracted to the current directory which is not good. * perhaps having a .spec file for rpm will be better than using alien to build rpm. I can mock up one if needed.

Hi all,

vzdump is an utility to make consistent snapshots of running OpenVZ VEs. It
basically creates a tar archive of the VE private area, which also includes
the VE configuration files.

There are several ways to provide consistency:

stop the VE during backup (very long downtime) use rsync and suspend/resume (minimal downtime). use LVM2 (no downtime)

vzdump is available at
http://www.proxmox.com/cms_proxmox/en/technology/oss-software/openvz/

Please read the manual page for more information (man vzdump). Suggestions
and comments are welcome.

Best regards,

Dietmar
