6 vzdump is a utility to make consistent snapshots of running OpenVZ VEs. It basically creates a tar archive of the VE private area, which also includes the VE configuration files.
7 There are several ways to provide consistency:
8 - stop the VE during backup (very long downtime)
9 - use rsync and suspend/resume (minimal downtime)
10 - use LVM2 (no downtime)
