[mylvmbackup] Re: mylvmbackup & rsnap + also 1 tiny suggested change

How is the intent of rsnap to be used? Taken from the homepage of rsnap:

" Do not use rsnap to create backups of your MySQL data directory. MySQL
data files tend to change frequently which leaves you with inconsistent
(=unusable) files. This is a limitation of rsync itself, not rsnap. Use
mysqldump instead."

Is this to be used in conjunction with lvm?

JFYI, rsnap support has now been added to the source tree and will be
part of the next release (0.11). Sorry that it took a while...
