You would still have to mount -o remount,ro while doing this...

I'd just tape backup the actual files.  Then you can use that backup
on something other than the same raid cluster/disks.  Also, you don't
have to backup everything (such as /usr), unless you want to/can
afford to.

it gets corrupted.
