Hello, I read much about that LVM snapshot are the ideal way to backup XEN VMs. But I''m not sure if the data in the snapshot will be really consistent. AFAIK when i take the snapshot from dom0, the data on domU isn''t synced to harddisk. Maybe not all data was written to the harddrive and still stay in the RAM. When a file wasn''t wrote completly to disk, the snapshot will contain a corrupt file. Maybe this is a important data file for an server application, and the backuped data is corrupted then? Am I completly wrong? When not what will be a better backup strategy to ensure data consistency? greetings Fabian _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
