Live copy

[tincboy]

Is it possible to take a backup of a KVM VM that uses .raw file format for it's disk while it's running? ( both windows and linux )

 

[typo3usa]

is this in an lvm ?

if so then yes - just copy the volume

Would you please explain a little more?
How about restoring them?

Again, vzdump can handle it. So what exactly is the question?

Sorry, I've quoted the wrong post,
My question was about how to restore a copied lvm.
