Thanks, Craig! I need a good laugh this morning, as well.
The basic problem is that you can't do a quiescent backup of a running

It seems to me that either Time Machine or CrashPlan are adequate for
"snapshot" backups that may be self-inconsistent, and that neither of
these are adequate for backups with full referential integrity.
