does --suspend causing downtime of the VE? if yes how long? in the case a VE have used 40GB of disk space.
i tried to use --snapshot, but it seems that it wants to create new partition on the LVM, while all the space on my disk already allocated to /vz (it's on LVM) i do have a second HDD which is formated to ext3, can i used it as the backup destination? and how to do it? i know that there is an option for the backup destination on vzdump, but as i said before, vzdump tried to make new partition on LVM (which is on the main HDD not in the secondary. I intended to backup on the second HDD) thank yous Best Regards, Markus ----- Original Message ---- From: Dietmar Maurer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 7:18:20 PM Subject: AW: [Users] backup VE with vzdump > I'd like to have a complete backup of a VE.
