depends on what's running at the time.
If there are a lot of open files on the system, they could conceivably be corrupted, but I've made flar images of workstations with nobody logged into them, but otherwise fully operational, and haven't had any problems.
For a snapshot backup, it'll be fine to run on a live system. Just cron it for the middle of the night if it's a server.

curs_beep
curs_beep(3CURSES) Curses Library Functions curs_beep(3CURSES)
NAME
curs_beep, beep, flash - curses bell and screen flash routines
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ]
#include <curses.h>
int beep(void);
int flash(void);
DESCRIPTION
The beep() and flash() routines are used to signal the terminal user. The routine beep() sounds the audible alarm on the terminal, if pos-
sible; if that is not possible, it flashes the screen (visible bell), if that is possible. The routine flash() flashes the screen, and if
that is not possible, sounds the audible signal. If neither signal is possible, nothing happens. Nearly all terminals have an audible sig-
nal (bell or beep), but only some can flash the screen.
RETURN VALUES
These routines always return OK.
