Contrary to my other post, which was more educational than practical,
yes, you generally would not back up app data via a hypervisor
snapshot. Generally you would only backup the OS disk and perhaps the
application binaries. This would be for quick

Hi Charles,
How are you folks doing your hypervisor level backups?
Under ESXi I used GhettoVCB which basically took a snap shot, copied the
disk image to another location, then deleted the snap.
Thank you for this hint, I didn't know about GhettoVCB and I'm
definately going to have a look

The work-around for this is to SSH into the guest first, put the database
into backup mode(maybe run sync a time or two to flush out as much from RAM
as possible), take the snap shot, ssh back in to resume the database, backup
the snap, delete the snap.
