Interesting you'd say that... I used to be a real fan-boy for Rackspace colo and cloud offerings but I got burnt last year when their cloud platform dropped a group of servers into the bit bucket along with the snapshots not being recoverable. head -> wall. Seems weird that you'd backup a cloud server on-premise but in this case it saved by bacon! I keep most of my customer platforms backed up to a NAS on my network at home. Belts and braces etc. I'm just going through a re-engineering of my own dev/test stuff at home and going down the KVM+LVM path but still hate snapshots for a backup/recovery method after that incident. rsync + hardlinked folders. Easy-peasy lemon squeasy.
