I have used LVM snapshots to take a point in time snapshot of some file systems to then backup after the snap was done. I've also seen this done using a EVA5000 and a XP512 and XP12000. This was done using a in-house job scheduler. The EVA5000 did crap-out one day due to what HP said was our over use of snapshots on the EVA5000. We where doing 37+ snapshots and there was a random bug in the EVA5000 firmware at that time that would put the EVA5000 into a funky state where both controllers on the EVA5000 would reboot over and over. This had only happened to 2 customers out of the I don't know how many customers that where using the EVA5000 at that time.
