Umm, not to be a pest, but aren't we kind of over-engineering here? Coupled with LVM or EVMS snapshots, there are good in-guest backup utilities easily available that make this problem trivially disappear, and you get file-level backup and restore as a freebie. Do we really need to teach CP the innards of various guests and break the virtualization model to do so? I don't' think so. If you need that kind of HA, you need to set up the system to support it, eg using a storage virtualization layer like LVM2 or EVMS.
