[sheepdog-users] 答复: does sheepdog support live snapshot?

[redtone]

Thank you.

I want to setup a weekly backup of vdi disk.
The following is the weekly cron task shell.

dog vdi delete -s weekly vdiname
dog vdi snapshot -s weekly vdiname

is there any risk on data lost ?

Yes and you need latest QEMU such as v1.7

Do a live snapshot which stores disk + memory state:
 $ qemu monitor > savevm

Do a live disk-only snapshot:
 $ qemu-img snapshot -c tag sheepdog:your_image
 or 
 $ dog vdi snapshot -s tag your_image

Thanks
