Thanks for the feedback. I guess I need a little more assistance in understanding the correct procedure for disaster recovery.
With XenServer I have my VMs snapshotted then exported to backup weekly. So I guess I've never really used snapshots except to then export the snapshot as a backup VM. So... How can I do that in Cloudstack with KVM? Or is there a better solution for disaster recovery that doesn't cost $$$?
