Good morning David,
We actually like it a lot to be able to backup to Google, we can extend
the Google api and implement practice backup policies as if it was just
part of your local resources with a zero footprint and a few other nifty
features we implement for Insight.
Some practices using Insight keep their last 30 days of backups and then
do a bit of cleanup/archiving once a month and they are ready for the
next few weeks. Nice, simple, intuitive and very quick for a young
practice. I understand that Insight is the only product that takes this
approach.
On virtualisation, you'll be around this neck of the woods next month,
how about a nice flat white by the beach side when you are here?.

I really like the idea of Google looking after my backups. GFS may be
the optimal file system for reliability of data access.
Virtualisation is going to add a whole new dimension to the practice of
performing back ups and restores (not to mention uptimes). However
having data snapshots on "permanent" media still sounds like a good
idea. Burning data to DVD remains my mid term solution.

P.S. I note even the Herald is getting its head around virtualisation
(http://www.smh.com.au/news/biztech/are-you-being-served/2007/03/26/1174761375455.html?page=fullpage#)
although they've haven't yet cottoned on to the advantages, both
developmental and technical, in the open source implementations such as
Xen.
