Frank,

We have 15+ Unix boxes that we do level 0s weekly and level 1s daily
on, while the machines are up multiuser.  A few are by necessity, one
being in a galaxy far far away on the other end of a T1 line, but most
are just because it is convenient to not have to take all of those
machines down.  We have no problems with backups on those live systems
and restores from those backups.
