Automated JATOS backups

I've seen in several places that it's risky to do a simple rsync / tar / cp of a running JATOS folder to perform backups. I'm a bit confused by this -- how reading from a folder could corrupt the database -- but that's what's out there. If I want to do automated backups to help ensure that I don't lose any data should a drive die, is there a reasonable scheme for this then? Is it just to run on a filesystem that allows snapshots and to use that as the source of the backup? If I'm not on such a filesystem, I'm out of luck?
