while I'm not able to say anything about "safe" in the sense of not  
"blocking" or crashing the server, I'm able to say that this might  
lead to problems regarding data consistency, because Valentina does  
not work with transactional integrity. So it might happen, that your  
cursors already added the lines of an invoice, then your dumps runs  
and the invoice itself was not added. This would be enough "ensecure"  
for me to think about the process.
