[CentOS] OT: Building NFS server with LVM and snapshots enabled

Hi all,

I need to build a NFS CentOS 5.1 based server with LVM and snaphosts for disaster recovering to serve storage to three ESX servers for a development dept. I have 500 GB for storage. Data that I need to store on this server is 150 GB and can grow to 210 GB to the end of year ...

My questions are:

- Is it possible to do some type of scripting to do data snapshots every day and then copy to a remote server?? Some example, please??

- How can I restore snapshot data on the production server if I need to recover it??

Openfiler or FreeNAS isn't an option to do this task (customer requeriment).
