Most of them don't run Windows and don't have Windows' limits about opening a file multiple times, though, so you can at least still back up open files. You don't get any guarantee of consistent copies, but then you don't get that with Bacula on a unix or Mac system either due to the lack of a VSS equivalent. (I know, you can take a full file system snapshot and mount it as I do for my mail spool backups, but .... clumsy?!?) -- Craig Ringer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
