Backing Up A Virtual Drive

[Stephen]

The solutions i have looked into for backing up VM's would be reliant on VM
snapshots then saving those files from the snapshot. I know there are some
tools out there that might automate this process. I cannot remember if
zamanda will do this or not. (a quick search on the their site they do seem
to have tools for this)

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
