Hi list,

I'm a newbie to vserver and I wonder how to backup my vserver guests with a cron job run by the vserver host.

I think it should be something like that:
  vserver myvserver stop
  ...compress /etc/vserver to a tgz file and save on external storage...
  vserver myvserver start

Have I forgotten something important here?

Myvserver will run mysql and apache (TYPO3 content management system), so I think it won't hurt to run a mysqldump before shutting down and backing up myvserver.

What is the best way to invoke the mysqldump command within myvserver? A separate cron job within the guest?

TIA
Gerhard
