[pve-devel] PVE with support of QEMU Incremental Backup

[Eric Blevins]

Just wanted to throw this idea out there.
With incremental backups we could also implement a near real time VM 
replication system.

Full backup created, shipped to remote server and restored.
Every X minutes grab changed blocks, ship to remote server, restore.
