I would use the snapshot functionality to create a snapshot of a live system, and then backup the system using the snapshot instead of the actual system.
I have no experience with the LVM snapshots. I've been using rsync snapshots as described at http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/.
One of the suggestions was to use the snapshot feature on everything except the DB, and use a dump feature in the database, for example MySQL. Is there any suggestions, techniques or guidance that could be offered?
For MySQL, look at mysqlhotcopy. -- Jiann-Ming Su "I have to decide between two equally frightening options. If I wanted to do that, I'd vote." --Duckman "The system's broke, Hank. The election baby has peed in the bath water. You got to throw 'em both out." --Dale Gribble
