And how do I manage to take snapshots of VM's not based on LVM? I mean,
I have 3 VM's on my System, on three files under a /xenM directory. Is
there any easy way I can do backups of the running virtual machines?
Thanks a lot!

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....
That doesn't surprise me.
But i think that is not a reliable way for production servers.
I think you are right about that :) .
What would you recommend to get reliable disaster recovery backups
of file-backed as well as partition-backed (raw partition or lvm
volumes) vms?
I would use LVM to provide the storage and then take a snapshot ("lvcreate
-s") in dom0 and back that up.
