Fair enough. How do you do backups?

This thread reminds me of Basecamps Getting Real book.

Just getting it done. I am now intrigued to try Nim if you are core dev.

Have you researched the potential pitfalls of relying only on crash-consistent VM backups? For example, I read that if you're using the ext4 filesystem, the data=journal option is safer than the default (data=ordered, I think).

Nope. I should probably read up on it a bit more :)
