[Fedora-xen] Best Practice for backing up running Virtual Machines

[Christian Reiter]

Hello!

I am wondering what's the best way to backup a running xen-domU.

I've just tried to simply copy the file of a file-backed domU while it 
was running.
Surprisingly that  was succesful, i didn't even get a filesystem error....

 But i think that is not a reliable way for production servers.

What would you recommend to get reliable disaster recovery backups
of file-backed as well as partition-backed (raw partition or lvm 
volumes) vms?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,  ///  Kind Regards,
                                                 Christian Reiter
