migration and snapshots.

What would be a good storage topology for allowing for migration as well as support snapshots (for backup)

Would love to hear recommendations as well as details on setup that people are using. (I am assuming that this is possible.)

Here is my current understanding..

LVM -- Snapshots but not shared.
CLVM -- shared but no snapshots. (yet)
NFS/GFS -- Shared FS but no snapshots 


qcow2 files and VHD file supports snapshots... but VHD is not yet available in Xen or KVM.

qcow2 : are people using this in production ? Any limitations.. any success stories ?

qcow2 takes snapshots within the disk it self... how can I get the snapshot out for backup ?
