Actually, you shouldn't have to "bring it down"..

A more convenient way to handle this would be to implement a method on
the repositoryController, #backUpTo: targetFileDirectory, that closes,
copies the files via Squeak's FileStream, then reoopens, all wrapped in
a requestCritical: [], of course.

So, you can keep your web up but just notify there will be a pause for
however long it takes for Squeak to copy the files.

How does that sound?
