People do backups differently. If that's the strategy that works for you, go for it. After doing it a while, feel free to update the ploop backup wiki page. I haven't done it the way you propose and I don't use backula... so I can't answer you. I prefer to do file-based backups rather than copying image files... and just rsync. I'm guessing you have already looked at it but here's the wiki page: https://wiki.openvz.org/Ploop/Backup TYL, -- Scott Dowdle 704 Church Street Belgrade, MT 59714 (406)388-0827 [home] (406)994-3931 [work] _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@openvz.org https://lists.openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/users
