There are many tutorials explaining how to enlarge a working root partition installed on LVM. Shrinking, however, it's another deal. If it's a VM that you resize, it's not a big problem.

Below I present a smiple script that automates the process of making a backup using the power of LVM. Provided that you have your root on LVM partition you can then make a live backup on your working system with zero down-time.
