Title:
  Require lockless backup

Status in Holland Backup Framework:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  It would be nice to have an option where you require that the backup
  fail if it can not be completed without locking. There are cases where
  I would rather have no backup for the night than downtime.

  An example would be a database which is pure innodb having a new table
  accidentally created as MyISAM. Ordinarily this would just downgrade
  from --single-transaction to --lock-tables but it would be nice to
  have an option where instead the backup refuses to start until the
  table is converted to a transactional engine.
