Hi Matt B.,
yes that's exactly right -to be used in conjunction of lvm snapshot- that's
why it comes right in hand with mylvmbackup. Once you have that snapshot
(whether it's from mysql or other apps/data) rsnap is safe to use and can be
used to archive your backup (with hard-links / incrementals).
Hope this helps.
