Did your setup of taking lvm snapshots and then backing them up work without any issues ? I heard lvm snapshots weren't stable.

I'm using LVM for DomUs: On backup time, I create a LVM snapshot, mount
the snapshot in Dom0 and running rdiff-backup to create a new increment.
On desaster, I create a new logical volume and restore the rdiff-backup
into the mounted volume after creating a filesystem in the new LV. Now you
can umount the volume and startup the DomU.
