I use cloudmins "backup and restore: system backups". it makes a .gz file of the system disk for the vm. so far so good...
but when I want to restore, it unpacks it and then says this:
"Finding systems to restore .. .. found 1 systems Working out backup sources .. .. found 1 usable sources
Restoring [machine] from /storage/backups/servers/[machine] on Cloudmin master .. Restoring copies of LVM disks for [machine] .................................................................................. ................................................................................ ................................................................................ ........................................... .. restore failed : Failed to restore copy of LVM disk /storage/servers/[machine].img : 1310720+0 records in 1310720+0 records out"
What? I dont use lvm in the vm... seems like restore has a bug. it should just be unpacking my .img file, nothing more. no lvm stuff...

That message is a bit misleading - it isn't actually restoring into a logical volume.
The command may have failed because your system is low on disk space, or due to a write error on the host system's disk.

manual gunzip -c [machine].gz > [machine].img works for me so it is not a storage issue :S

What about a command like :
gunzip -c machine.gz | dd of=machine.img bs=32768that's basically what Cloudmin uses.
