put /var/www on a Logical Volume and create Snapshots on a regular base ( and delete old ones of course ) ..

Ok, then you have the Websites with the nightly backups of the customer databases (if enabled). You don't have the current databases or the mysql db of mysql.
You don't have the mails and you don't have /etc which I personally don't want to miss in a backup.

I like the physical volume idea and to round it out it seems it should be:

/etc
/root
/var
/usr/sbin/maillogconvert.pl

and then resotre using the same distro copy all this stuff back and I'm good to go. That seem right?
