Plesk Providers - Question on Backup

We are running Plesk 2.5 on a few of our servers.

We use the default backup script that was provided by Plesk.

There are 2 options ...

1) to run the backup script and shut down all services.

2) to run the back script and (do not) shut down all services.

*** Which one is the "better" case , I assume (1) to shut down all services but this needs to be ran early AM 02:00 AM etc... but I would rather not shut down the services.

What issues will I encounter if I do not shut down the services.

By the way, this script backs up everything on the box pretty much including MySQL dbase.

Thanks in advance for your comments!

Kind Regards,

Dave
