== Ezvzdump ==
Ezvzdump (not to be confused with [[vzdump]]) is a shell script that also allows
you to dump out a running VE container. The key differences are that ezvzdump
allows you to utilize past dumps to speed things up, and that a remote host can
The dump files that are created are compatible with those that vzdump creates,
so you must still use `<code>vzdump --restore` </code> to restore them.
Dependencies: sendEmail package for emailing of statistics
== Cron ==I recommend using <code>nice </code><code></code> and <code>ionice </code> to run this script so it doesn't bring the host to it's knees. Here is an Place this example from my crontabin <code>/etc/cron. It runs this script every night d/ezvzdump</code> and the backups will run at 3:30 AM and my server is just as responsive as if it wasn't running at allevery day.
