Hello Mike,
An alternative solution is to create a special partition (in the same hard
disk, or in a different hard disk) and install a spartan Linux
installation there as a root filesystem.
Or boot from a boot+root diskette.
When you want to backup, boot your computer into that special root
partition, and mount all other partitions as R/O.
Then you'll not have to worry about running in very-single-process mode.
