Hi,
If tar reports that a file was modified while it was being archived,
does that mean that the file was archived correctly, or is it corrupted
in the archive?
Does tar take a snapshot of the file so that even if it is modified, at
least the archive is safe?
You can not use tar to backup postgresql if it is running.
