Hi,

Indeed that is currently not implemented in BackupPC, since this would 
require all backups to stop. That in turn is not may not feasible in a 
large environment or where backup schedules are tight. But as an 
optional feature, it is interesting.

Basically any previous backup will be coherent, so snapshoting at any 
time is fine when you are aware of this limit.

Of course you can always check for running processes in a while loop and 
wait until there are no backups running.

This is the kind of details I might be interested in documenting.

Best regards,
Johan
