[linux-lvm] How do I properly backup and restore / on LVM2

[Alan Pek]

Hi Folks,

How do I properly backup and restore / on LVM2 , e.g.

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/rootvg-rootlv
                       2621356   1902288    719068  73% /
tmpfs                 25165824         4  25165820   1% /dev/shm
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1       106040     45992     60048  44% /boot

Am running SLES9 , should be similar in Redhat and my pvdisplay looks 
like, HW RAID 1.
