Replying to landauf:
Q: Do we really need to stop services before backup? I think we use LVM to create a snapshot of the filesystem so we can back it up in the background (while other tasks are running).
Yes, you are right.
Now the tar command in the backup.cron script is not verbose, and will only inform about errors! ⇒ huge emails are not sent anymore.
