As far as I know: yes, until you manually end the physical backup mode. > What do you suggest I should do with JayBird when the exception is thrown? > Execute "alter database end backup"? What if another user has started a nbackup on the same database? It is risky to just assume that the error is caused by a failed/crashed backup and then disable the physical backup mode; that could potentially corrupt the backup by the other user. I'd suggest that executing the "alter database end backup" should be an explicit (manually started) action. Mark
