@scottalanmiller said in What would your recommendation be for a Type 1 Hypervisor - including backup and restoration options:
Dom0 has some schedulers, but that's not really relevant. If you understand type 1 vs type 2, then your statement here doesn't really make sense. I'm not sure what you are trying to say.
Why isn't it relevant? You have a kernel booted up, containing a set of drivers and schedulers, then you have a management VM coming up containing it's own kernel, drivers and schedulers, and some of the system calls a VM executes will have to go through the Dom0's schedulers, to reach the DomU drivers and make syscalls and some will go to the DomU. And yes, some will go to Dom0, which will direct them to DomU (there was a diagram published about all that circa 2011 with the specific calls). How is that more efficient that a single set of schedulers?
You can't just say "this is irrelevant" when it goes against the point you're trying to prove
