Subject: Question about live backups
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2008 11:50:18 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48F36E3A.9090309@kmbc.edu> (raw)

KVM group,
    I've done some research into live backups, but haven't found a lot.  
I've also looked into snapshots, but as I understand it, those are not 
actually complete?  I'm thinking in terms of disaster recovery - I'd 
like to make nightly backups of each of my VM's (including xml configs) 
so as to be able to roll them on a different server in case of 
failure,etc. but I can't really afford to shutdown the VM's during 
backups.  I'm not running LVM.  Any suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve Lorimer
