Even if you are going to shutdown the virtual machines, you can still use lvm snapshots to minimize your downtime. Shutdown all your virtual machines, take an lvm snapshot of the volume with the disk images, then power back on your virtual machines. Then you can back up the disk images from the lvm snapshot and you don't have to wait for the backup to complete before powering your machines back on. Brazen
