[Users] Virtuozzo 7 snapshots

[Jehan Procaccia]

Hello

back to that thread regarding snapshots, indeed option --skip_dump seems 
to work fine, but I cannot find a doc on it, is it undocumented ?

I want to backup openVZ 7 CTs and have read that Legacy vz6 method 
should work fine
so from https://openvz.org/Ploop/Backup
I presume I should replace

vzctl snapshot$CTID --id $ID --skip-suspend --skip-config

with

vzctl snapshot $CTID --skip_dump

but does this mean that --skip_dump is the equivalent of --skip-suspend  
+ --skip-config ?  it allows for a snapshot that keeps the CT running 
(no suspend) ?

One more question, based on
https://openvz.org/Ploop/Backup#File-based_backup

I understand that backing up a vzctl snapshot-mount ,

# Take a snapshot without suspending a CT and saving its config
vzctl snapshot$CTID --id $ID --skip-suspend --skip-config

# Mount the snapshot taken
vzctl snapshot-mount$CTID --id $ID --target $MNTDIR

# Perform a backup using your favorite backup tool
# (tar is just an example)
tar cf backup.tar $MNTDIR



  will only backup the files modified since the last snapshot, not the 
whole CT (latest snapshot + base root.hdd/root.hds ) , I am correct ?

If there is an up2date method to live backup  (withoud stopping the CT)  
for Vz7 please let me know .

Regards
