Cloning a Volume Group
On Compute Cloud@Customer, you can create a clone of an existing volume group.
A cloned volume group is a point-in-time direct disk-to-disk deep copy of the source volume group, so all the data that's in the source volume group is copied to the clone volume group.
Any subsequent changes to the data on the source volume group are not copied to the clone.
For additional details about clones and how they differ from backups, see Volume Backups and Clones.
