Just curious -- does it cause a problem to use a "tar | gzip" approach
when the files being backed up are being written to by other processes?
It seems to me that it wouldn't really mess up the backup, but I'm not
sure. You'd have some incomplete data, but is that worse than blocking
out the world and having none of that data?
