is there a way to perform LVM backups within the promox gui? i only see vzdump atm.
vzdump takes too long, i prefer the Xen snapshots which only take about a max 2-3 seconds. i'm trying to find similar way to do this in proxmox. any advice?
 
The Proxmox VE backup tool (vzdump) uses LVM snapshots for consistency (live-backups) and you can target a external NFS server as destination.
