That's what we do, as well. I have tried filesystem snapshots, and they work,
but it's much harder to document for other SA's. Everyone understands the
concept of traditional backup mechanisms, though, so that's what I stick with.
The exception to this is that I will on occasion take a disk image during a
maintenance cycle - that way, I have a good, existing environment I can restore
a backup into - or that I can use to create the domU in a test environment and
test DR procedures, patches, configurations, etc. My process for that is
shutdown, create snapshot, boot domU, use dd to copy the snapshot to a file,
delete snapshot.
