What about using LVM (assuming Linux, but substitute and alternate as
appropriate) to snapshot the volume housing the data.  You then run a
pre-hook to create and mount the snapshot, point your fileset at the
mounted snapshot and tear it down with a post-hook?

That way, order isn't important as you get a stable snapshot of all
the files at a point in time, which should preserve the recoverability
of the WAL for you, no?

Thanks
