SMART data is next to worthless. There aren't any standards and the only useful
way to use it is to monitor over time. Snapshot data point mean ZERO.
I wouldn't do anything different. Good backups. Backup tools for ESXi usually
cost $1K+. Plus I'd wipe ESXi and load KVM. Actually, I did exactly that 3-4
yrs ago and don't miss it at all. Much happier now and VMs run faster too.
