I would use the snapshot functionality to create a snapshot of a live

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.
