i use vmware pretty frequently on my work and home pcs & one of the features I love about is the option of copying a virtual machine and running it from another pc.
So, what I want to know are there any hosts which allow you to make backups of your virtual instance be it xen/openvz along the hard disk data.
Wouldn't this be the best form of backup ? & If it were possible then why r not many hosts talking about it ? "like instantly load ur xen machine on myexample host etc". I can understand many things might not work ip configs, etc but these are minor compared to the major hassles of restoring everything one at a time or does it not work like this for xen/openvz?
Your thoughts ?
