Placing LVM Snapshots in another Volume Group

[alexpacio]

Hi,
I'm using LVM group storage and i noticed a thing. When I tried to backup my virtual machine, vzdump tries to make a snapshot on the VG where the virtual machine is located on, but there are no Free Extents available. So, how can i say to vzdump to make snapshot in another VG?

You need to reserve some space in the VG if you want to make snapshots.
