We are implementing here at the University KVM virtualization for
our servers and services and i was wondering if anyone try to
automatically backup images.
I am actually using logical volumes for the VM guests. All virtual
clients are installed in their LVM logical volume. We are already
use IBM TSM for backup as we used to when we had physical machines,
ie install client in OS and manage files and data backup.
I want to have an image backup additional to files backup, but i
want to take the image online, without pause or suspend the VM
guests.
Did anyone try to create image backups online? What about

Can you please advise?
