Re: [Xen-users] moving virtual machines from one computer to another



If the img file for that domU is a sparse file, copy with the cp -- sparse option, rsync is rsync --sparse, scp doesn't have a sparse option.

I do it all the time.

Hello,

I suspect this is going to be a really easy question, but either I
can't find it or I suck at Google.

Anyhow, I've got a virtual machine sat on machine A. I want to make a
copy of it on machine B. I haven't got any shared storage.

I don't want to do anything fancy like migration whilst keeping the
virtual machines up. I just want a copy on B so I don't have to
reinstall it.

I'm using files as the drive storage, not partitions.

How?

Thanks,

David
