XF 2.2 When you do a backup do you close your forum?

HI
When you do a manual backup of your forum, do you close your forum, or do you leave it running for users to post

Thanks

I generally leave it running, although it does slow down while exporting the database via cPanel. In an ideal world the backup never gets used.

But I do have 3 automatic backups per day by Jetbackup.
