This script performs a MySQL backup by using an LVM snapshot volume.
It requires the MySQL server's data directory to be placed on a logical volume, and creates an LVM snapshot to create a copy of the MySQL datadir.
Afterwards, all data files are archived to a backup directory.

See the manual page for more info including a complete list of options and check the home page at http://www.lenzg.net/mylvmbackup for more info.
