This is probably the wrong place to ask, but people on the right lists 
won't have experience with the kind of disk activity that backuppc 
creates.  I have my main backuppc server set up so I can periodically 
swap and raid-sync a new disk and keep a copy offsite.  I'd like to have 
a VMware/virtualbox or other virtual machine image that could run on any 
machine that would be able to access this disk via a USB adapter for 
quick emergency restores.  Does anyone have experience with any of the 
virtual machine's USB handling to know if this would be practical and 
which technology would be best at it?
