I'm guessing only running VM's (with dirty bitmap support) can be 
incrementally backed up?


Might be nice if we could schedule backups for only running VM's

Ah, I see now, thanks, I didn't understand that part of things. Looking 
at the logs of my 2nd backup, I see that stopped VM's had zero bytes 
written to the backup server.
