| pleia2 | raevol: yeah, using dd is the way, I tend to dd over to another lvm slice on another machine (can dd over ssh) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | from my recent vm backups: sudo dd if=/dev/r2d2/puppet.alderaan.princessleia.com | ssh r4g9 dd of=/dev/r4g9/puppet.alderaan.princessleia.com | 00:01 |
| pleia2 | after creating the lvm volume on the remote system | 00:01 |
| raevol | i see i see | 00:02 |
| raevol | pleia2: is it possible to put the "dd if" side over ssh? as in the machine running the backups pulls the image off of a remote server? | 00:03 |
| pleia2 | raevol: only one way to find out! (I'm really not sure) | 00:03 |
| raevol | lulll ;D | 00:03 |
| raevol | ah the problem was creating the snapshot first i think | 00:04 |
| pleia2 | I assume the VM is running? | 00:05 |
| raevol | yea | 00:05 |
| * pleia2 nods | 00:05 | |
| raevol | but i could just do that over ssh right? i guess permissions of the ssh user is an issue | 00:07 |
| pleia2 | heh, so I was just bad and doing everything as root (as I tend to do for backups) | 00:08 |
| pleia2 | my machines all have a root ssh key of my backups server (let's hope my backups server stays safe behind its firewall :)) | 00:09 |
| raevol | D: | 00:09 |
| raevol | that's... terrifying | 00:09 |
| pleia2 | indeed | 00:09 |
| raevol | are you the only IT person doing IT in your IT world? | 00:09 |
| pleia2 | oh, it's my home | 00:09 |
| pleia2 | so whatever :) | 00:09 |
| raevol | fair enough | 00:09 |
| raevol | haha | 00:09 |
| raevol | ok go time ttys! | 00:09 |
| pleia2 | we use cloud things at work | 00:10 |
| pleia2 | (to be fair, I do restrict what can be done with that key, so it's not that bad) | 00:10 |
