Please tell me if I am wrong :
Xen needs LVM to perform domU snapshots and snapshots must be 
performed by dom0.
 
I'm confused. Why Xen would need LVM to perform any snapshots at all?
 
OK, I forgot to say that for me, LVM snapshot seems to be a good 
solution in order to perform a pseudo transparent backup (without to 
shutdown or to perform a "pause" of the domU).
But if we do not need to keep domU up 24h/24h, it is possible to use 
other way to perform snapshots ; for example with a basic "xm pause" ; 
copy of domU ;  "xm unpause" (if you do not have databases, etc.)
