Given your stated requirements, the ONLY safe way for you is uvbackup. This runs within the database, and as such will not have trouble (much) with people accessing files. Any os-level backup will hiccup on files the db may have open.
Running UV/NT, for us the problem is so severe that we always reboot the server after backing up (there are ways round the problems we've hit, but a reboot is simple, practical and works ...)
