[Cialug] VMs & Replication

That's a good analogy, though it's a little safer since there's not that 
(tiny these days) risk of filesystem corruption you can get when the 
plug is pulled.

Of course, my knowledge is far from complete. It could be that some 
databases respond to a sync by flushing everything to disk. I'm pretty 
sure mysql at least doesn't. I wouldn't want to make that claim if my 
client was doing something important without some serious research first! =)
