Simply put, you can't do file level operations on files
that are<br>
being operated on at the block level. You will get a
corruption of<br>
multiple versions of your files combined together
nonsensically.<br>
<br>
This is what volume manager level snapshots are for. Freeze
your<br>
files in time, then copy them.<br>
<br>
Ditto for databases.<br>
