I've seen just about everything under the sun used. Regardless of solution, backups of the relevant registry hives and HDS DB don't require anything being taken offline - I've got plenty of 24/7 operations in my customer base that all back up without issues. No real risk to backup software grabbing a registry hive, and even then, this isn't something that needs to be backed up regularly - for most environments a single registry backup after install will do the trick unless there are constant changes (eg; adding/removing PG's, etc.). As for the AW/HDS or ADS/HDS/DDS, the only real risk from a SQL backup is slow down of that particular database instance, which may have an impact on running reports but won't impact the actual operation of UCCE.
