Why do you think this?

"The failure I see of this system is that even though the db is paused, it
is not in a "safe" state for backup."
Once you broke the mirror would it not be safe to backup that array??

The db is basically in "mid sentence". The commits are not atomic. If you restore to the tape, you may in my case have "half an order" or an invoice half processed. the unidata dbpause does not make people get out of maitnenance screens or release locks, so records can be in an uncommitted state. Risk is small, but it is present.
