I use lvm-based block device on critical installation, actually.
However, backing up block devices is an hassle compared to regular

Especially with the latter, you need to be *extremely* careful, as its
"alias name" (data-destroyer) is here for a reason.
I use proxmox which has implemented vzdump for backing up raw devices.
No issues so far and no need to use dd.

In addition to that, ZFS snapshots can be used as a quick point in time
backup.

Thanks.
