See the following step-by-step guide (complete w/ screenshots ) [1] that I threw together on how to use Aeolus and Snap [2] to migrate a running instance between two separate cloud providers with no downtime (demonstrated is EC2 / rackspace but this will work to/from RHEV-M or any other cloud provider supported by aeolus/deltacloud [3])

You mention in the blog posting that you can restore to another Linux distro. But would this really work? How about if there were two different Apache versions, each with a slightly different configuration syntax? Or more plausibly, two different PostgreSQL versions (PG's on-disk format is not compatible across some version changes).
Rich.
