Re: [Xen-users] Consistent VM image backups

[Mike Sun <msun@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not worried about uncommitted data from the guest OS... I'm
capturing all of the domU memory state as well, so I guess I should be
more clear that I'm not looking for truly "consistent" disk image... I
just want to make sure that the virtual disk state is always synced to
the actual backing file.
