Why not use FMP Server's own scheduled backup system to back up either onto
the FMP Server Mac or some other volume mounted on the FMP server, timed to
take place before the retrospect backup occurs. The FMP Server software is
automatically paused while a backup copy is made so the backup copy is in a
good known state. Retrospect can then backup the backup.
