On second thoughts, for large databases, the time to copy the data
files may be so long that the log volume becomes prohibitively large
if garbage collection is turned off for the entire backup. In that
case, it would be better to copy finished log files in parallel with
the data files and let them be garbage collected at any time after it
has been copied. This probably does not need to be part of a first
implementation, but something one should consider for the future.
