I'll just warn you that if you're planning to use snapshots for your own 
purposes, to first do an extensive stress test on a non-critical machine 
with backed up data.  I've had a lot of problems with snapshots 
occasionally causing deadlocks which hang the machine.  This was under 6.x 
but I had the same problem under many previous versions, so I don't 
necessarily expect that it's fixed.  Also, while it's never happened to 
me, I've heard other people report data corruption.
