But if such a utility program exists, then that's easier. Something like vgcfgbackup and vgcfgrestore? I don't think these are *quite* what you're after because they expect particular UUIDs for each volume, useful for getting at data you already have, whereas I think you're after a way of cloning an LVM setup.
