Seems to me something like livevault (I think that was it) would work.

Subject: Backup - recommendation please?
Hi,
I'm looking for a backup solution for a new customer. We normally use
unenhanced versions of Backup Exec or Arcserve, & back the system up out of
hours. Unfortunately this customer needs to work 24/7.
The software my company produces uses a well-known accounting package at its
core, which stores its data in a very large number of files which are
related to each other. It isn't possible to use a normal 'backup open
files' approach since if two related files are backed up - but new data has
been added in-between - restoring them will leave the system in an
inconsistent state.
So, I think what's needed (if such a thing exists) is a product that will
take a snapshot of an entire directory (inc. subdirs) and back that up -
while leaving the system usable (a moderate slowdown is acceptable). Does
anyone know if there's an add-on for our normal backup tools (or even a
completely different product) that can do what I'm asking? If so, what's
your experience of it?
Thanks,
Mark
