We want to deprecate the export domain, but it is not deprecated yet.

Can you describe how you backup your vms using export domain?
What do you mean by online snapshots?
We believe that the ability to detach and attach a data domain provides
equivalent and even superior functionality to the export domain. Is there
anything you'd miss? I don't believe it would be a significant change.
Attaching and detaching data domain was not designed for backing up vms.
How would you use it for backup?
How do you ensure that a backup clone of a vm is not started by mistake,
changing the backup contents?
