I can rum a snapshot backup in openvz containers.

aurora:/var/lib/vz# vzdump --dumpdir /tmp/dump --snapshot --compress --storage backup 111

INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump --dumpdir /tmp/dump --snapshot --compress --storage backup 111
INFO: Starting Backup of VM 111 (openvz)
INFO: CTID 111 exist mounted running
INFO: status = CTID 111 exist mounted running
INFO: mode failure - unable to dump into snapshot (use option --dumpdir)
INFO: trying 'suspend' mode instead
INFO: backup mode: suspend


I see another post, but the message talk about lvm out of space. In my caso no explanetion come from vzdump.

Any ideas ?
 
where is you backup storage? ("backup")
 
I see....

Another server the destination is a external HD and suspend works....

So i presume you can use the same device to origem and destination....
 
yes, otherwise you got a loop.
