Generally I'm with Christian on this one. The procedure Mark linked is appropriate for (most) *sub*-directories of the the root - not the entire root itself. The pseudo directories need to be excluded, and things like logs, even in single user, are problematic - that may not be an issue on test systems. Unless the VGs and/or LVs are the same name I'd do it from another system - else I might be inclined to figure out what needs to be excluded and try a copy from the running system. Has plenty of scope to get ugly.
