Stefan, you may have a spare server in the office for this, but in a 
hosting environment, you have to pay for every server you want, and I 
have to be honest with you, it's cheaper to buy 200GB FTP space, than 
another server JUST for backups. And I don't see why any host who 
doesn't offer / use iSCSI should suddenly start offering it just cause 
OpenSolaris is free. Cause what you say is to have an iSCSI server with 
the VM's on, and then backup that server, so that means you'd need 3 
physical servers
OpenSolaris isn't the answer to everything.
