I use a xen box to do test restores of customer backups to validate that
the backed up data is actually enough to rebuild their servers from.
This works really really well for restoring one or more physical
machines and a workstation or two.

We now have a few customers actually using xen on their own networks, so
I am now faced with a new problem of how best to restore them...

Being able to run Xen on top of Xen would solve that... is there a way?
Or any other suggestions?

An hypervisor is able to run in a virtual machine if hypervisor construction and copmuter architecture meet the second Popek's and Goldberg's theorem (about recursive virtualization). Xen does not meet it, because x86 architecture is not a "perfect" virtualizable one.
