As it is now possible to do a snapshot backup of a VE to the same storage because of LVM reasons.
Would it be possible to do the backup one the dedicated disk and then have the backup process move it to the LVM disk by ussing the --dumpdir function ?

For example it is now doing

vzdump 101 --quiet 1 --mailto xxxx@xxxx.com --mode snapshot --compress gzip --maxfiles 3 --storage Backup

But I want to store the backup on local which is where the VM is on. (openvz)
Could I add --dumpdir /var/lib/vz/dump to this to have the end result store on the LVM disk ?
