I agree, but I have been using a combination of both (with Xen on Centos). When OS updates are applied on the VM, an LVM snapshot of the VM's LVM partition is taken, which gets backed up with the host. So the image being backed up doesn't change very often and doesn't get backed up during incremental host backups. Specific files in the VM, for example web server content files, get backed up from Bacula running within the VM.
