There is also "xfsdump", which can be done "live". In fact, it has to be mounted. It is some kind of snapshot, no?
No idea how xfsdump is implemented. I've never used it personally.
Well, I don't know the details, but it does a complete backup of everything in the filesystem, very fast, that can be used to recreate it. It is incremental. IIRC, it needs that the destination be also an xfs filesystem, so it is not a plain file copy, nor is it an exact image (specially of the metadata). (I know this later part from experience, from dumping a broken filesystem, reformat, restore, that the restored copy was not broken) (that brokenness was unrepairable, it was only detected) Only xfsrestore can read the dump. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
