Using embedded does not rule out hot backups.
It rules out doing hot backups from _another_ application.

We're using the IBOBackupService component to perform backup on a
running embedded database.
The trick is that the single application that has access to the
embedded database is the same application that must run the hot
backup.
Not sure what's available with other toolsets.
