To test this, some years ago I actually tried archiving and restoring a vmware disk image while it was in use. Turns out it worked just fine. That said, the vmware session was not in active use at the time and I certainly wouldn't trust this to not give thoroughly corrupt data. You may be able to get away with it occasionally; but on any system in production the amount of disk activity will likely corrupt your backup. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
