then you don't have to stop the VM, do you?  unless you also want to
save the VM state with the storage, which would be the only way to
preserve userspace buffers... but restoring a full disk/ram/cpu backup
even just a few hours after backup would still generate a lot or
errors when 'suddenly' all clients are gone.

i really don't see the point of Dom0 backups.  you always need DomU
cooperation, and that's already solved by network backup systems
