Doing a backup while PowerMail is running is better than no backup at
all, and it will *probably* not produce a corrupted backup as long as no
change to the database is made during the backup (ie, no scheduled
connection). But you should not rely exclusively on those backups; make
a clean backup at least from time to time, and don't override it before
a new clean backup has been made.
