This doesn't happen. The backup contains a consistent snapshot (achieved
by running recovery on the write-ahead log, which is in the backup set).
This is much the same as you'll see with backup on a traditional DB like
Oracle or Postgresql.
Filesystem snapshot is generally not a good idea with WAL databases
since the database already has the ability to create consistent backups
without the overhead of logging at the filesystem level.
