[Xen-users] Xen backups using LVM Snapshots

[lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi all,

I am running Xen 3.2-1 / 2.6.18 on Debian Etch (Dom0).

I setup a Dom0 with several DomUs (Linux).  Each DomU disk is a LV partition.  
I have been seeing a few mails about backups and LVM and just wanted to make 
sure that what I am doing is correct.

Each DomU with a database has a cron that dumps the db with mysqldump.  Later 
on, Dom0 will do an LVM Snapshot of all DomUs and then do a file system backup 
of the Snapshots.  I do no actions on the DomUs.  No shutdown or 'xm 
pause/save/...'

Does this sound about right or am I missing something important?  Any pointers 
to 'Xen backup' documentation are welcome! :)

Thanks for your help.
