Backing up a NGZ

edited Jun 16, 2011 7:22PM in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered
Hello,
Frequently, for learning/testing/whatever, I need to perform a backup of a fully configured NGZ.
So I've been wondering the best way to have "quick" backups in case I need to backout.

Definitely, it seems that zone cloning is not applicable here because in the process it performs a sysunconfig.
So I though of:
  1. normal ZFS snapshots (zfs snapshot -r ...) of the entire zonepath, but I'm not sure if it would be a recommended approach;
    (in case of problems I would perform a zfs rollback on the entire zonepath)

  2. using find+cpio (just as in NGZ miration white-paper).

Howdy, Stranger!
