Hi Sven, all,
In 3.3 there is a new utility called engine-backup.
Documentation is currently somewhat lacking.
'engine-backup --help' will tell you its options.
As Eli implied below, there is no need to take down the engine/jboss
services while backing up.
Restore should be done to an empty database.
Some improvements for it were merged in recently, some of them will
be included in 3.3.1.

I see no reason to force engine down in backup , only in restore when we are
stopping the existing database and creating a new clean one , so we have to
verify that engine does not lock some objects
