Basically a no go then.

I back up all the config files anyway to an offsite location so in case of restore ive got all my configs but its all the little things, and packages installed over the years that would take ages to remember and re-configure in a server crash scenario i thought it would be nice just to take a system image of it and my whole server with all its bells and whistles would be restored in minutes rather than hours.
due to all the moving temp files in nagios, and how it utilizes flat files, i'm not surprised it hung. the trick to your snapshot is going to be the route you already mentioned i believe.
With Nagios stopped the backup runs through perfectly.
@dwhitfield might be on to something with IO, but i'm no expert in that territory.

One thing you might try is our 60-day trial of xi. Even if you're not serious about xi it would give you some idea if the database model works better with your backups. Ndoutils is available to core users. You'd have to rearchitect a bit but it's an option.

regardless of a database, this issue will still exist i believe.

@FTL, did you have any other questions or did you want to lock it up? It sounds like you have something that will work for you, even if not with veeam.
