vzdump speed

[matthew]

I want to create a backup of a stopped VM as fast as possible. There will be no other VM's running at time I am creating this. Is there a way to speed up the process at price of system load etc?

ionice: <integer> (0 - 8) (default = 7)
Set CFQ ionice priority.

I was wondering if this setting may speed things up? Should it be changed to 0?

Would ionice 0 yield the fastest backup?
