When I backup Postgresql databases, I use pg_dumpall to dump the data into a text file; I don't try to backup the binary database files.
Right. You need to either dump the database from within the engine or quiesce the database before making a snapshot of the underlying file system.
I'm not familiar with MongoDB, but I would be surprised if it didn't have a similar option to dump its data to a text file.
Be surprised. MongoDB lacks the tools to do full text dumps. It has a limited export function which is useless for production backups because it can't export everything and a dump function that dumps to a binary format.
