Yet another reason to do it from inside the VM.

What I do (on systems that have a running database) is to run a "flush"
operation to sync the database to disk, and then from within the flush
operation I create an LVM snapshot, and then I backup off the snapshot.
If I'm not running a database, then I just create the snapshot directly.
