This reminds me, I use the internal ha backup (to a network drive). But I'm using Linux kvm, so I could be doing snapshots instead, which in theory are easier to restore.

    @limelight79 I would still advise doing an alternate method(along with snapshot) of copy i.e tarred config directory as done by HA. I am not sure what happened(error message indicated disk corruption)but I couldn’t recover from the vm snapshots I had.

    Do both, you're saying? Maybe keep the daily backup and then do a weekly snapshot, something like that.
