which is the best form to backup and restore these windows guests? Some examples?

Shadow copy and amanda/zmanda.

I see snapshot's lvm option, but I think that this option it is not valid for windows guests...

It's valid if you don't need a clean backup. :) Usually, a dump of a snapshot is good enough if it is read-mostly. It's probably better than nothing, although not recommended since there are no guarantees.

probably I need to use dd?? But if i use dd, how can I restore lvm image onto another host with lvm partitions?

dd
