Greetings, Can anybody confirm the safety of LVM snapshot backout (not a backup -- but similar to snapshot restore) for a VM? I understand that there is a step for restart of the CM and not live migration. Will any thing of rsync will help considering a usage of DD on various VM file formnats and various *visors(s)? Or is there a suggested (best practices) way of coelsing VMs snapshots and and possibily running a particular snapshot being coelesed? -- Regards, Rajagopal
