What kind of backup are you taking? Agent Client based or SAN snapshot based?

I don't know the exact lvm commands off the top of my head, but first
I think you need to import the VG with something like 'vgimportclone'
and then once the volume group is imported you should be able to see
the partitions that reside in the VG. Not sure but you may need to run
a 'kpartx -a' to get the kernel to see the new partitions that are
available in the VG. Then I think it should be a matter of mounting
the partition in /dev/mapper/<VG>
