The image file solution is well documented and can be found in most of the tutorials like this one. In my experience the image file solution was slower than using LVM supposedly due to loopback filesystems using more memory. The image solution would not really be comparable to an LVM snapshot. This is because a snapshot can take place while the system is online. With the image file you SHOULD shutdown the domU or you would risk losing open files or possibly a currupt image file. (I haven't tried this myself, but I'm guessing the results would be bad) If you search through the mailing list archives, there are quite a few posts about backups and LVM. Snapshots sound pretty unstable right now so you may want to look for another solution. -Eric _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
