Please remember to include the LVM Metadata

o /etc/lvmconf/ for LVM1
o /etc/lvm/     for LVM2

in your regular backups.

Those are necessary in case metadata on your PVs gets accidentially
overwritten (e.g., some diligent installer) in order to recover
with vgcfgrestore(8).


Regards,
Heinz    -- The LVM Guy --
