>Other listers are correct you do have fbackup ( also tar and cpio ).

I'm not sure whether I remember correctly or not, but wasn't tar and
cpio happy to "backup" files that are being opened for writing, without
any error message or warning (and without giving a consistent backup)?

fbackup, I believe, at least reported those files that were accessed
and did a couple of retries later, hoping to get a "clean" copy to the
backup media. However, I'm not sure if you would end up with some kind
of consistent state if some of the accessed files have a relationship
with some of the other files.
