Hello, I have a pretty backup script that takes care about files, only about files, using commands like "cp" and "rsync". There's no tar.gz nor snapshots about the filesystem as a whole and takes no care about partitions tables or LVM, it only copies files. And I don't want an image-like file, as a tar made by vzdump or LVM snapshop would be, so I can't not use them.
To use it to backup OpenVZ containers it's enought to copy the files inside /var/lib/vz/private/$CID and /etc/vz/conf/$CID.conf, suspending previsously the CT? What about the files inside /var/lib/vz/root/$CID? Something like this simplified commands: ]$ CID=XYZ ]$ vzctl chkpnt $CID --dumpfile <path> ]$ backup /var/lib/vz/private/$CID (¿vz/root/$CID?) ]$ vzctl restore $CID --dumpfile <path> ]$ backup /etc/vz/conf/$CID.conf In case my server was completly lost, will I have enought information to restore the CT? how should I restore them? Maybe with a process similar as when I create them from a template? Any other tip or advise besides to test the whole process?
