I couldn't see a way to make a consistent snapshot; is there a better
or at least more consistent way to do the snapshot?

It was more the way things got built than a specific plan. I wanted a
buffer so that backups could be complete before the next one starts -
didn't want to risk the backup by abusing resources all at the same time.

The backup scripts were written so we could reuse them easily on other
hosts, but it wouldn't be hard to do it all in one script, serially.
