Missing lxc administration tools

Question

Do you know how to backup and/or clone a lxc container ? I'm under Debian 6, and there is no lxc-clone, lxc-backup commands !?

Lxc administration seems pretty tough...

Answer 1

This depends on whether you're using LVM as your storage base for your containers or not. lxc-clone and lxc-backup are not native commands to the LXC package I have, but seem to be available in the Ubuntu version. What version of the package are you using?
