    vzdump sparse files issue

    vzdump doesn't correctly handle sparse files. I have 459G sparse file, that happens because I've implemented SSO based on FreeIPA, and users usually have high user id, and lastlog creates sparse file which gets as big as 459G. ipadmin@proxy:/var/log$ ls -slh lastlog 16K -rw-r--r-- 1 root root...

    LXC backup and multiple raw disks

    [SOLVED] lxc and 'exclude-path' in /etc/vzdump.conf

    It seems to me that backing up a lxc excludes some paths per default as mentioned, but not explicit called, in [1]. But in my opinion excluding /var/log/* MAY be a bad idea as this excludes everything - although some programs are expecting existing log paths after restoring, apache2 for example...
