Hmmm, Then are there any new enhancements as far as backups are concerned between current 7.2.x to 7.3.x.
Like can we do a tar when database is up and running or another feature.

Thanks a bunch in advance.

AFAIK no such hot backup feature has been implemented for 7.3 -- you
appear to have been misinformed.

That said, I agree that would be a good feature to have.
