In that case, you backup the file (as any regular file). That means that you are not going to do a backup at the file system level of data in that virtual disk, but your are just going to backup the entire raw disk. A very simple way to do this is: # cp /path/to/my/vdisk/file /path/to/my/vdisk/file.backup Here you do backup of the raw disk. If you have ZFS then you can use snapshot which is much quicker. alex. > Alexandre Chartre wrote: >> >> Replying to ldoms-discuss at opensolaris.org which is the right alias for >> this kind of questions. >> >> From the guest domain, you can backup your disk using any regular backup >> system. >> >> From the service domain, you can backup the file you use as a virtual >> disk. >> When doing so, the guest domain has to be stopped and unbound to ensure >> that data on the file are coherent. >> >> alex. >> >> Jill Manfield wrote: >>> >>> What is the recommended way and or can you point me to documentation >>> on how to restore and or backup an ldom guest domain set up or >>> presented with the OS installed on a file? > >
