Also using snapshots with dump/restore? Do you have any script which I could have a look? >I've even successfully recreated a database server with mysql and >postgresql servers running >and using dump as a backup tool.

I don't think a backup of a live filesystem containing database data could be reliable.. what happens if MySQL has some data in memory (still not flushed to disk)?
