+1 I've migrated our storage to zfs (all you need is cache='writeback' in /etc/libvirt/qemu/machine.xml) and added a cron job to snapshot it and copy the snapshot to another zfs nightly. I keep a week's worth of snapshots, I don't need any more backups than that -- but if I did, I too would back up the actual data I need from within the VM. -- Dimitri Maziuk Programmer/sysadmin BioMagResBank, UW-Madison -- http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu
