Hi Julien, Good point! We have a private IaaS cloud and we have the same question. At the beginning documentation and forums recommends to backup MySQL DB and the secondary storage.
I'm using Cloudstack and Xen servers with LVM as a primary storage. I'm doing it but I've got some not solved questions. 1) Geoff says "You should have every VM running a Scheduled Snapshot routine, that way if you have a disaster, you can recreate your architecture, and restore VMs from Snapshots / Templates". When you schedule this snapshot routine it will create snaps on secondary storage. Does this snaps count as a consumed resources for users? Must they will pay for it? Can users delete them? 2) I'm now testing a solution for PHD in order to do VM backups from Xen Server. Are you using Xen or KVM/VMware? 3) I need to protect myself from harware failures (mirroring) and software or human errors (backup). Are you only using mirror?
