Hi All.

I have installed Citrix XenServer. It's Linux-based virtualization software.
Could anyone propose a good way to make backups of virtual machines
(Linux/Windows) in it?

With regards,
R.

Do you have any shared storage that you're using which supports snapshots?
If you do, then a combination of coalescing the running VM's to disk and
taking a snap and also using traditional backup methods (application aware)
to disk/tape for archival and complete failure of the storage is a
reasonable thing to do.
