Backing up jails

[alexg]

How do you backup (or replicate) jails directory? I just did a quick test using "cp -rp" command and it looks like it duplicated contents of nullfs mount points. That's not what I want. I already backup my tank storage.

Not sure but maybe snapshots and replication would work? Or maybe warden has a backup feature.

You can use 'warden export' to create a .wdn file.

I've had compatibility problems between different versions of warden though.
