Hi All.
I have installed Citrix XenServer. It's Linux-based virtualization software. Could anyone propose a good way to make backups of virtual machines (Linux/Windows) in it?
With regards, R.
Do you have any shared storage that you're using which supports snapshots? If you do, then a combination of coalescing the running VM's to disk and taking a snap and also using traditional backup methods (application aware) to disk/tape for archival and complete failure of the storage is a reasonable thing to do.
