With ;ONLINE=START you should actually be able to "get away" without
having the users to log off, as ;ONLINE=START or ;ONLINE=END are the
"true online" options added a few years ago.

Before that, you only had ;ONLINE and that actually required the
files to be "free" until the store process had gained control and
reached the "sync point" at the beginning of the backup. With that
option, you had to log off the jobs and/or sessions for a while.
