In my day-job all our Linux boxes (bar 3) are Xen VMs. I wanted a way to take a backup of these with out the risk of the files changing underneath. For performance reasons I am running all of them on Logical Volumes. Within these VMs the DomU OS is once again using LVM for various reasons. This does create some headaches for taking the backup.
