You're right, it's only 100% safe if you backup the *memory* state as
well.  Otherwise, from all the other proposed methods I've seen in
this thread, just by pausing or saving the VM does not guarantee that
the file system will be put into a consistent state, which is
important for those who care about file system backups and not VM
snapshots.
