This is effectively what happens in Project Cuba: 

1/ connect to the host to be backed up, 
2/ make a shadow copy for the various shares (using Microsoft vshadow.exe
for now) 
3/ start rsyncd on the shadow copy, 
4/ and start the backup. 

I hope to be able to share these pre/post scripts with you in the very near
future.

Best regards, Achim
