Newer files in the archive won't hurt anything. The main way I can think of
this would be a problem is if you obliterated files, then restored from a
checkpoint with the "latest" depot data. Not sure what would happen
then on rerunning the obliterate. Certainly you would not have those files.

If you're really concerned that it's perfect, but don't want to stop
your server, set up a read/only replica. On the replica, set up a cron job to
halt the p4d service, run your backups, and then restart the service.
