Hi, There are quite a number of webpages discussing backup and snapshots. But I'm not sure what the currently best practice is. For my application, I don't care memory images. I mainly care about the software installed on virtual machines and the OS configurations on the virtual machines. I know that I can not make a safe copy of the disk image of a virtual machine without shutting it down. But this may not be always feasible, as in general my virtual machines should be on. Taking snapshots does not require virtual machine shutdown (if I understand it correctly), but it seems that it saves more than just disk images. Could you anybody give me some suggestions on the best backup practice? Thanks. -- Regards, Peng _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list virt-tools-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
