Hi everyone!
I have this doubt, on xenexpress there''s a command to
export and import a vm i think it''s like this
xe vm-export uuid=0099... filename=/path
xe vm-import filename=/path ...
I was wondering if there is something like this on Xen
3.0.3.
If not how can i make a complete backup of my vm to
install it on another computer (is it posible?).
Thanks for your time and your help!
Ivan.

Hello, Where/how is your VM stored? If it is in a file, you can copy the file and config over to the new server and it should work that way. But you will need to bring down the box. If it is a machine that needs to be kept running, I am currently trying to find the same kind of answer.

Not sure if I''m understanding you correctly, but it sounds like you want to make a backup of a running VM instance and then start it as another VM instance on the same or other server. I have done this with LVM snapshots. I don''t have the time explain right now, but there are lots of resources on the web for LVM snapshots.

Hi Ivan, What does your config file look like? Is there a file:/ or phy:/ in the disk= part of it?
