Hi, I plan to use a dual primary setup for Xen DomUs. The DRBD devices are created on top of LVM LVs. Before, I used to do this on top of iSCSI devices and for backup I just dd-ed the snapshotted LVM device after the DomU was saved (and thus temporarely down). When I would follow this strategy with this LVM-DRBD dual primary setup, I will have more than likely the DRBD metadata in the dd dump (complicating restores). Is there anything I can do do have a "clean" backup of the Xen DomU when it is saved and when the LV underneath the DRBD device is snapshotted? thx! B.
