Well, what are you trying to protect? Backing up Eucalyptus (the CLC
database, etc.) itself should not be that difficult.

Ephemeral EC2 instance storage should not be backed up at all (by the
cloud infrastructure). Educate the users to consider them throw-away
storage and to make sure that the applications can survives a loss of
an instance in one AZ. EBS storage can be backed up to S3 using
snapshots, just like you do in AWS. Perhaps it might make sense to
back up S3 (walrus) to TSM?
