I was wondering what advantages can have stop and suspend modes for programmed backup tasks versus snapshot live backup tool ??
 
I read that article... but I was wondering what advantages there are...

Downtime is a disadvantage for me at least.
 
you're right, i've misread your question ;)

I'm also using snaps but you need LVM, I guess few people using LVM are using suspend/stop
 
1.) snapshots are not always possible (NFS, no LVM available).

2.) stop mode backups are 100% consistent (i.e. RAM is not saved with snapshot backups)
