Maybe you want to back up a partition as it was at some moment in the
past (exactly)? Then you have to make a device-mapper-snapshot out of
it. You need to install device-mapper module and userspace tools, and
make the following: original device is never used directly; instead a
snapshot-origin mapping is made of it and is always used. When you need
snapshot, you create a file (on another partition, of course; maybe even
in the memory if you are sure you will do everything quickly enough),
make it a loopback device, and make a snapshot out of snapshot-origin
you have and this loopback for changes rollback. Maybe it is also better
to mount -o remount,sync the device for the time of creating snapshot
device in order to have less problems with consistency. And remount it
back when you start copying.
