One more time: Unless your Linux systems *are completely down* at the time of backup, full volume dumps from outside the Linux system are more than likely to be useless.
Can you explain why is that ? I never experimented such failure after doing live backup of journaled filesystems. It is like brute forcing a shutdown by logging off the VM machine : not ideal, but not supposed to break your Linux machine. It is the reason to use journaled filesystems.
