Hi, Quick question, I am trying to work out a backup system for my new Xen server, I am running CentOS as the Dom0 and wondering if I have a SCSI tape drive attached to the Dom0 will it be available to the DomU''s? Or will it just work for the Dom0?

Some patches have just (like a few hours ago!) been posted to xen-devel to do exactly that. Without them, the answer is no. You''ll need something like bacula with the storage daemon in Dom0 and the client in DomU.

I see, well the thing is one of the DomU''s is Windows 2003 SBS running Exchange server, and I need to run either Veritas or NTBackup to remove the exchange logs. I guess I could backup a file from NTBackup to a samba / NFS mount on the Dom0 and use Bacula to backup up that file to tape?

I wrote an Exchange agent for Bacula that I''m using on a few servers. I need to clean it up a bit though, and I''m busy with the GPL PV drivers presently.
