i run rt on a real host (non virt) mysql resides on a netapp filer which 
gets mirrored 3000 miles away every 30 minutes,
in addition i dump full db nightly.

we do DR testing once a month, and so far have not had any issues, we 
tend to rely on the mysql dump though, the netapp mirror will only be 
used for reading the tickets opened within the past 12 -/+ hours


because the mysql db is pretty much always in a constant state of 
writing, i would not rely on a snapshot too much, the *.FYI files 
usually get a bit messed up..
