In response to the various questions:
This particular backup strategy is on a Unix box - no LVM
The filesystem in question is very modest - only 500MB - takes
15 or thereabouts seconds to copy over to another partition.

No sql databases running, so no problems there.

The strategy is very simplistic and therefore reliable and easy to use by
non-IT staff.  Been using it for many years and it works, so why go to
something more sophisticated?   If it ain't broke - dont fix it !
