Personally, I'm very interested in seeing where Intel go with their

The reason is that I'm getting sick and tired of having to explain and

extremely careful management of LVM snapshots. This is simply way

admin effort for what should really be a simple incremental backup

Sounds like you want ZFS.
On Solaris.
On a little dedicated box which exports space via NFS.
Stroller.
