The ultimate, I think, would be a VM based backup tool that plays nice
with the Linux file system. It would:
1. Recognize if Linux is running.
2. If Linux is running, tell it to purge it's file cache and 'go to
sleep'.
Suspend to disk. Linux does it on Intellish systems.
3. Access a Linux minidisk and understand the file system that resides
there.
Another Linux guest (or boot disk) can do that.
4. Run full / incremental backup or restore.
5. Tell Linux to wake up when it's over.
This would also allow easy recovery of dead penguins, as well as take
advantage of proven backup tools. Sounds simple on paper at least.
