Ein? :-) 

What is your main goal?

→ If you want to have a copy (image) of a full linux system that you can 
restore at any time, better use cloning tools, like Clonezilla and such, 
and better make the backup off-line.

→ If you just want to backup plain data, "tar" on running systems can be 
fine.
