Hi All,<br><br>Thanks for all your suggestion. Just a check, if i have a full backup on the server but due to the different specs of the hardware so i am unable to do a bare metal restore, can i just dump all the folders under /var/lib/libvirt which also includes the images folder? Will it work that way?<br>
<br>Here is the folders in libvirt:<br><br>[root@pop-kvm-web libvirt]# ls<br>boot images iptables network qemu<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>yongsan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 29, 2010 at 12:27 AM, C.J.

a separate port and using tc to keep things from getting out of hand:<br>
