What a beautiful but almost forgotten world.

If I was to consider this for a company, I'd want to know how to make backups and what the available strategies are for some basic highly available setup (or at least for a disaster recovery).

"Snapshot the whole virtual machine" might not be a very good answer (and might not be possible if running on bare metal).
