Can this be done and how? > Make a "share" for the disk(s) you want to backup, then use mount_smbfs to get at the data. You may not be successful backing up files in use, not sure, but speculating. This would prevent successful backup of registry and security/user databases. I'm almost certain you couldn't restore onto a MS filesystem on top of files in use, so that would make restoring problematic. A safe concept would be backup data files (as opposed to system files) not in use with tar.
