You won't get anywhere with them (or any other vendor).  I've tried
for years and they just go plain stupid:

  Me: Why don't you people fix this problem with active file systems
      so dump at least does not abort?  I applied and worked on fixes
      for this 15 years ago when I first started working on it.

  Vendor: We don't support backing up active file systems.

  Me: That's crap.  You're telling me you expect me to take this
      system down once a day to do backups?  That you don't expect
      your system to stay up more than 24 hours?

At this point, the relationship usually turns ugly :-).
