Hi all,

we have done a complete rewrite of vzdump. There is not much additional functionality for OpenVZ, mostly code cleanups. 

* stop mode does not use --tmpdir anymore. So downtime is longer, but you do not need additional space (as requested by many users)
* no more --restore option (instead we include a vzrestore binary)
* acquire VM lock during backup

Download: ftp://pve.proxmox.com/sources/vzdump_2009-09-16.tar.gz

Please test and report bugs to me.
