Hmm. So the only way to make a consistent backup from a standby server
is to shut down the standby first? Or is even that problematic?

Would it change anything if we are able to guarantee that the
filesystem is snapshotted as a point-in-time snapshot by using LVM or
on Amazon EC2 by snapshotting an EBS volume?

Thanks
