While this would not be ideal, could you potentially use 'nice' to give lower priority to the dumps relative to BackupPC_Nightly? If you are using a dedicated backup server you might be able to tune the priority numbers such that the dumps "effectively" halt while the higher priority BackupPC_Nightly runs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
