Then, only the part that is currently running needs to be kept as static as possible - and you can see which part that is by following the progress of your script (with a log, etc.). Since it's not one big backup, some of the pieces could be little out of sync with the others, but if you're running one big backup on a live system, that's going to happen anyway. | |

Browsers tend to write a lot of random stuff in their data directories. In the worst case, what you get is an inconsistent backup, i.e. when restoring, you may be unable to restore your tabs, your bookmarks may be gone (because the database is corrupted) or something in that order of magnitude. | |
