We're in the process of moving from oVirt to VMware and our home grown backup system has made moving very very easy. I've migrated several VMs across. There's more than one way to skin a cat. Snapshots don't buy you much with regards to integral integrity. They aren't (and never will be) application logic aware (for example). And at the virtual disk level, it obviously becomes even more of "black box". (I'm mainly answering the question do "people not take backup of their VMs?")
