But seriously, above all, I'd recommend you backup the engine (it comes
with a utility) often and well. I do it via cron every hour in production,
keeping a rotation of hourly and daily backups, just in case. It doesn't
take much space or resources, but it's more than just best practice - that
database is the summary of the entire setup.
If you don't mind, may I ask what process you use for backing up your
engine? If you use HE, do you keep one server dedicated to just that VM?
I've not had that particular issue in the restore process yet, however I
read that it's recommended the HE host is free of virtual load before the
backup takes place. And as they need to be done frequently, I'm reading
that as a dedicated host...
