        Many thanks. That is a problem more or less with any
backup method that doesn't unmount and convert to read-only a
given file system.

        I noticed when I installed dump that the man page states
that it is for ext2/3 file systems so I am not as paranoid as
the little voices make me out to be.

Thanks for the link. That made the little voices come back a bit
but at least I think I know what risks there are.
