What if you did an lvm snapshot of the pool before while you knew no 
backups/nightlies etc were running, then rsynced/dded the lvm snapshot?


Speaking of which - I'm still, several months later, writing a script that 
backuppc can use to sync to lvm snapshots.  If only I wasn't so busy 
screwing around doing other things.  Has anyone done similar?
