You can restore more than once from the same file, so you could use that for "checkpoints" or similar. -- Mats> > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/snapshot-feature-in-XEN---tf3187536.html > #a8847110 > Sent from the Xen - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users > > >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Well like in vmware you can take snapshot and then later if you want to revert back to snapshot then you can. So i am looking for something similar in XEN as if something goes wrong then i go back to the snapshot. Yeh done with driver...

Of course, this can be done using "incremental backup" type systems, so not all the content has to be copied each time. -- Mats> > Ulrich Windl wrote: > > > > On 7 Feb 2007 at 7:10, anant wrote: > > > >> > >> Hi all, > >> is there any snapshot feature in XEN like Vmware....? > > > > > > Hi! > > > > Done with the drivers?
