The question is pretty much all in the title.
Is it ok to run the mongodump command to backup the database + make a backup of user pictures while NodeBB is running? Or should the backup script run ./nodebb stop before and ./nodebb start after? I guess the real risk of something going wrong regards the database dump.
Thank you!

How do you make sure the backups work if you need them?
Test it on a separate instance of NodeBB?
