I back up my entire VM when I back up. It is running at the time, so if I have to restore I restore the entire /mystic directory. I personally use my Synology NAS to do my backups, but as a backup (Yea go figure) I use VEEAM free agent that works fine, it does incrementals every night, and a full backup once a week. If I do need to restore for any reason, I just run a ./mis poll killbusy all and it kills all the semaphores and I am ready to reboot and go on with minimal downtime or loss.. You can run VEEAM Free Agent in Windows also if that is what you are using...
