I have several xen boxen that run a bunch of virtual
machines.
What I did is install a bbackupd on every virtual machine
with their own account id. That way you'll have backups
without downtime of virtual machines.
Also, once a vm/jail needs to be moved to another piece of
hardware you dont have to worry about the backupschema,
because it has it's own client.
