RE: [vserver] how to backup / migrate a vserver?

I would love to take a look at it. Please post it to the list - perhaps someone else could use it as well.

I've made a script that does exactly that you're talking about. It makes to backups, one for the conf and another for the "filesystem" of the virtual server. If it could be useful for you I can send it.

Hello all

I'm looking into using vservers in order to do server replication and failover. I have a couple of questions that I couldn't find in the online docs:

1. How to do a complete backup up of a vserver from the host? Is it just a matter of backing up the /etc/vservers/<vservername> directory?
2. How to migrate a vserver to another host? Just copy /etc/vservers/<vservername> to the new host?
3. Are the list archives searchable? It would make answering questions like this a bit easier.

thanks
