2. Yes it's save to move a file tied to a local loopback while the system is live

and actively using the file. Just like you can mv a running exectutable to another file of the same name, you can do this with files tied to a loopback. I think the mv will create a hard link to the new file then remove the old file. All open file descriptors will still point to the correct data blocks.
I ran this script as knoppix on my system and had no issues. Until I rebooted, the kernel still sees knoppix-data.bak content exactly as it was when it was before the mv.
