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.
