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, Arnold
