How does every one else here backup there domU's. Thanks. You can do it your way - but you've got to shutdown the domu before backing it up. If your root partition is an XFS-filesystem, you might be able to dump a running domu-filesystem-image after calling xfs_freeze (inside the domu). However, I wouldn't recommend using XFS as root filesystem. The other option is to use some kind of network backup client in your domu or tar/cpio/dump all necessary partitions somewhere. I just tar all my domu's root-partitions into a network filesystem directory.
