I see a problem here: when we say "the system is down" it means it's
*down*, not running. You're using to mean "some service(s) are down while
we do backups". For example, you might say "the d/b system is down while
we do backups"... but you can't do anything with a brick, sitting there,
which is what a server is when it's down.

Please explain what you mean by "not to boot back up".
