OK ! Is there a special version of dd (or other software) can dump a LVM
container (after snapshot) differentially compared to a previous full dump ?

Theoretically is not complicated .. together with the full dump the program
can create an hash file (an hash of each block), the full dump can be moved to
other storage, the differential dump can be create using the (small) hash file.
