[Users] Backing up ploop-based containers

[Toke Høiland-Jørgensen]

Hi

I am looking to experiment with ploop-based containers, and am trying to
figure out how to implement backups. I currently have a backup solution
consisting of vzdump combined with an rdiff-based offsite storage of the
resulting dump files.

Now my question is this: Can this be extended to the ploop case? I.e.
can I do a ploop snapshot, and then copy the ploop container file off
somewhere and expect that to be a valid (i.e. consistent and restorable)
backup of the running container? Or is there something else I need to
do? Or other files I need to backup (apart from the container config, of
course)?

Thanks,

-Toke
