This is clearly NOT an alternative to a command. So it may not meet your needs.

What file system? ZFS, EXT4...?

Some file systems support snapshots, so you backup from the snapshot. If you create a snapshot at time T, then run your backup against the time T snap at T + 10 days, you still get what was there at time T. No corruption.

You can also clone a file system to a different name, filesysA -> filesysB, then backup filesysB at your leisure.

You can get snapshot and clone worthy filesystems for Linux and Solaris. I do not know about HP or AIX.
