However, if your VM's are running on top of lvm on the /host/ OS that wouldn't work. Your VM server may have tools for snapshotting entire machines. VMware has vmsnap.pl script for doing this-- but it's meant to scp the entire machine to another location rather than mounting it and running tar, etc. > - I would like to be able to recover from bare metal (Done: I have seen in > mailing list that is possible to do semi automatic with knoppix) > I have restored machines with a knoppix disk, partition the drive, netcat |tar xf, reinstall grub and you're good to go.
