I'm running LVM on a virtual machine and on top drbd, yes. But without
snapshots. The snapshots are taken only on the physical box. There's no
sense in taking snapshots on both. The virtual machine is stored on a
RAID10 on the ESX.

And performance? Well, I don't know. It backups up my around 20 machines
(mostly Linux) without any issues. I don't mind the backup or re-org of
the files taking 30% longer...it's still all done within 24hours.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
