So maybe the idea I had awhile back about moving the VMs to the SSD - the VMs are about 90GB, the SSD is 128GB - and then at the end of every day just copying the VMs over to the RAID as a backup - would be a better way to run?
I do this using rsync to give me 5 days of rotating VM backup. I don't use snapshotting or any other data-consistency measures, and I routinely restore the backups onto a test machine and have (probably luckily) not encountered any consistency issues a quick fsck won't fix up.
As a double backup, I also use either Windows backup or rsync inside the virtual guests to perform full system backups.
