True enough, but afio will spit out the changed files (and some,
e.g. logfiles, *will* change), so you can capture the output and
check it with your eyes --- or a script --- for files that are
'allowed' to change.
Alternatively, you could boot to a different system (bootdisk,
second system on your HD) and backup from there. Of course
that kills uptime, running daemons, ... You could also use the
/linuxrc mechanism with an initial ramdisk, so you could continue
booting into your system after backup is finished.
