Paras,

I use rsnapshot on all of my systems, including my XEN VM's.  It is
fast, efficient, has been tested (i.e., I can restore a backup made from
rsnapshot) and frankly, provides me with a lot fewer headaches than any
other method I've tried.  Using rdiff-backup is also a good solution.
It was my solution before rsnapshot.

Thanks,
