Do Virtual Machines Dream Of Electric Backups?

Put another way…

How do you backup your virtual machines…and why do you back them up that way?

Periodic volume snapshots? Bit-level backup of your host OS and the associated virtual machine files?

Have you scripted some amazing piece of filesystem wizardry?

Are you still doing backups inside your guest OSs?

I think it’ll be interesting to see the different tools and techniques people are using.

So jet over to the Funboard and post your questions/musings/rantings. Good warmup for Mark’ visit at the end of this month.
