Yeah... I snapshot our slaves every 30 minutes.. When you say "hot" master what exactly do you mean?

A "full-spec" machine, another X-Large with 4 EBS volumes that I can fail over to. Its in circular replication with the other "active" master (only one is receiving writes at a time). These instances are only snapshotted once a day to keep them as fast as possible.
