I have a virtual machine in a Xen LV, that I would like to backup from hostA to hostB because hostA is software broken. How do I copy and recreate that LV on hostB?

Create an identicaly sized LV on machine B. Use lvdisplay to get the size. Then using ssh and dd :

from hostA :

# dd if=/dev/yourVG/yourLV | ssh hostB dd of=/dev/yourVGB/yourLVB
