RE: [Xen-users] Backups !

Seconded - one of my hardest learned lessons about virtualization is that from 
an administration perspective, you should usually treat VMs as normal systems.  
There are some cool backup options with snapshots, etc.

But sadly, I've been bitten too many times in my testing.  I don't feel that 
these methods constitute a useful backup, any more than pulling a physical 
drive out of a server and imaging it does.
