Hi all,

I am glad to announce version 1.0 of vzdump. vzdump is an utility to make
consistent snapshots of running OpenVZ VEs. It basically creates a tar
archive of the VE private area, which also includes the VE configuration
files.

Vzdump 1.0 is now available for download: 

http://www.proxmox.com/cms_proxmox/en/virtualization/openvz/vzdump/

or

http://download.openvz.org/contrib/utils/vzdump/

New Features:

      - vzdump --mailto: generate nice text/html mails with
	  additional status info's
	- allow multiple receivers (multiple --mailto options)
	- new --exclude option to exclude some VEs 
	- new --exclude-path option, use 'find' to avoid tar
        sockets warnings, try to skip all log files by default
	- better log format includes time

An installation Howto is also available:

Upgrade and enjoy!
