As linux allows reading of "locked" files / has no concept of locking files 
exclusively, the answer is yes. The result you get is the same as if you would 
hard power-off your machine and restart it. Or take out one drive in your raid1 
while its running.

You should make sure you don't cross mount-points though. Otherwise the backup 
of localhosts '/' will recurse into itself.

Have fun,
