Hello

back to that thread regarding snapshots, indeed option --skip_dump seems to work fine, but I cannot find a doc on it, is it undocumented ?

I want to backup openVZ 7 CTs and have read that Legacy vz6 method should work fine
so from https://openvz.org/Ploop/Backup
I presume I should replace

vzctl snapshot$CTID --id $ID --skip-suspend --skip-config

with

vzctl snapshot $CTID --skip_dump

but does this mean that --skip_dump is the equivalent of --skip-suspend + --skip-config ? it allows for a snapshot that keeps the CT running (no suspend) ?

One more question, based on
https://openvz.org/Ploop/Backup#File-based_backup

I understand that backing up a vzctl snapshot-mount ,

# Take a snapshot without suspending a CT and saving its config
vzctl snapshot$CTID --id $ID --skip-suspend --skip-config

# Mount the snapshot taken
vzctl snapshot-mount$CTID --id $ID --target $MNTDIR

# Perform a backup using your favorite backup tool
# (tar is just an example)
tar cf backup.tar $MNTDIR



will only backup the files modified since the last snapshot, not the whole CT (latest snapshot + base root.hdd/root.hds ) , I am correct ?

If there is an up2date method to live backup (withoud stopping the CT) for Vz7 please let me know .

Regards

Hello,

Please try ‘vzctl snapshot $CTID –skip_dump’

Hello,

After upgrade to virtuozzo 7, I have found, that command `prlctl snapshot` now miss flag `--skip-suspend`.

So, when I try to backup my containers - they are suspended, miss connections, and act as unavailable for a time.

Do you know, how prevent it and backup whole ploop disk without down-time? OpenVZ 6 could.
