I assume you don't have to update the whole 5G each time, but
it sounds like you're up against some barrier if not now soon.
This is much the same problem of doing a hot backup of a database
and is one of the reasons that commercial databases cost $$.
You know all the things that I know about. Your only choice
AFAIK is to lay out money or to be crafty and divide your
updates into small self consistent sets. Presumably you could
upload all the new stuff on all machines into a directory with
a unique name (eg has a time and date in it), and when you're ready
to go, to change a link from the old directory to the new directory.
