Live Fille System Backup

I am running Raspberry PI and I would like to dump full file system without shutting down the system. One machine runs nginx and another runs PostgreSQL. I have had a good success with FreeBSD and dump software, because it is part of the OS and core team maintains it. However, dump utility is no

live medium installer remounting medium

If I start from debian 8.7.1 live cd/dvd over pxe and nfs, everything is working fine. But clicking the installer desktop icon does nothing. This happens, because the installer tries to mount the medium again. It tries to mount /dev/sr0. But there is no /dev/srv0 because the medium is available
