I actually prefer backing up LVMs.. I use the snapshot feature which means I can backup a live volume. Works well.

But I can't use snapshot feature because under these lvm partitions there are ZFS, NTFS and so on filesystems that linux can't access ...

There is a perfectly usable NTFS support file system available for CentOS/Linux - I use it from time to time for disk backups.

Take a look at NTFS-fuse.

BTW, volume backups generally do not require knowledge of the underlying file system structures, so this shouldn't be an issue anyway.
