I always made a snapshot of my vps through SolusVM. I do make backups but I'd like a whole vps backup with settings, users and in the case I recently had to make is move vps(reinstall OS). etc.. there anyway to accomplish this without the use of a control panel?
Also a feature request to add this to the control panel.
Snapshot ability?

Re: Snapshot ability?
This isn't possible with the way that we run our Xen VDSes, at least on our end. Inside your OS, you should be able to do this, though.

Re: Snapshot ability?
Ok, so I can't find much info on manually snapshots online, but I was able to find this
Is this correct? Which volume do I create it off of and where do I find it?
Thanks.
Code: Select all
lvcreate -s -n home_snap -L 1G /dev/My-vg/home
Thanks.
Re: Snapshot ability?
You could try installing the OS from scratch and using logical volumes if you'd like, yes -- that's one way to do it.
I'm not personally well-versed in how to do this, unfortunately.
