Hi Please create a page on the wiki for a HowTo with the subject: "How to back up a running KVM guest"
This will explain how to use LVM to take a snaphot of a KVM guest's virtual hard drive and rsync it to a remote backup server.
I have a prototype running but there are still many issues to be resolved affecting performance, security, reliability, automation. I intend to include a to-do list so that others can contribute. The to-do list is quite long so it's unsuitable for a single forum or mailing list post, where discussion about various points on a single thread could get confusing. Maybe individual issues could be posted in the forum for discussion.
Are wiki pages created in a hidden state and made visible when they reach the required quality?
Please also grant permission for me to alter the KVM HowTo: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/KVM ...so I can add the salient points from this forum post... http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=19034&forum=38 Thanks, Julian Price
