Possibility of inconsistencies in backups across LVM logical volume snapshots

  • 772

I'd like to start using LVM snapshots to help ensure quality backups.

If I have a /var partition that is on a separate volume from the rest of the root filesystem, can I still ensure that a backup accurately reflects the state of the entire system at a particular point in time? Is it worthwhile, based on the nature of the files in /var, to be concerned with this?

  1. Create snapshots for both filesystems at the same time.
