Re: [Xen-users] xen backup

["trilok nuwal" <tc.nuwal@xxxxxxxxx>]

Do you know IP addess of the domU on which applicatin is running ?

If yes then -> from dom0 

#ssh -l root <ip of domU> pkill <process name>.

Here <ip of domU> : Ip addess of the domU.
<process name> : Process to which u want to kill.


This will ask for root password, so you sould be know ing that one.

Thanks,
Trilok

Short answer, you can't.
Long answer, if you use LVM on dom0, you can use LVM snapshot to create
a "consistent" snapshot of domU's storage, and back it up.

Also have you looked into the xm save command? It may not do everything you want it to, but just wanted to make sure you were aware of it.
