From a RDBMS point of view, if the vendors tools claim consistency, then that 
what you will get, only for the RDBMS.

You will need to do 
DB backup
Datastore (assuming file persistence) backup , since its append only and will 
be consistent with the DB.
in that order.

You might also need so capture the local lucene index state, but that starts to 
get complicated. I cant remember how it rebuilds from scratch (if it does)?
