Backup software that could backup at vm level yet look inside luks encrypted lvm volume of guess linux os for individual file restores?
Now that we are on the VMware I would like to be able to use a backup software that can backup at the VMware level. However I have linux guests and I have to have them disk encrypted. This does two very annoying things. First it destroys the compression.... And second I have to restore an entire virtual machine just to get at one file.
Any backup software suggestions that can get around this?

I would think that in theory such a backup software could exist.... not sure if it does.... but I don't see any reason why a backup software (if provided with the luks password) couldn't do file level restores. They would need to be vmdk and luks and lvm aware.... but it seems possible. :-)
