Well the backup API works with WAL mode [1] so it can still be modified
while being backed up (though I imagine the WAL file will get huge during
the backup, but that's fine).

Regardless, all those solutions require me to wait for the entire backup to
complete before sending the file to the remote host -- my goal is to send
it one page at a time (eg, send the pages as the backup API processes them)
so as to avoid the large delay and disk space of the backup itself.
