Comment on Filesystem and virtualization decisions for homeserver build
thecoffeehobbit@lemmy.world 3 days agoUhh, from most what I have gathered from self-hosting so far, doing that is not trivial as you’d need to flush the ram contents to disk first basically. I’m starting to realize though that the same holds equally for filesystem level snapshotting. What I’m really after is making my data live on separate pass through storage that has all the fancy filesystem level stuff so I can just relax about the VM backups.

You are overthinking it, without flushing ram everything works fine. OS inside VM would just boot as normal and that’s it.
