backups while users still logged on?

Managers,

I have a AlphaServer 1000A 5/333 running DU4.0E patch kit #1. The system
uses ADVFS file systems. It does not use LSM. My questions is, what do I
need hardware or software wise to be able to do backups (full and
incremental) and other system maintenance while the system is up? How do I
do a full backup without logging off all of the users? Do I have to
shutdown the machine to single user mode and do the backup at the console?
Or can I do backups remotely? At this point all options are acceptable,
even if it means a totally new machine or configuration.
