The fact that's is ScaleIO really doesn't matter - treat backups of SQL as you would on any other storage platform.  It's up the application to provide a consistent backup, not the storage. If you were, for example, to take a snapshot at ScaleIO and back that up, then you would have no guarantee that it would be consistent.  SQL Server, Oracle etc, have methods to provide that consistency, and it's there you should eb looking.
