Hello all,

We use H2 (1.4.200) extensively in production environments. Our backup 
mechanism consists of:

- stopping the process
- backing up a directory tree including hundreds/thousands of H2 databases
- starting the process

Bringing the process down is because of the fact that the H2 databases can 
not be backed up on the file system level when they are still open.

For some of the environments the down-time is becoming an issue and we are 
thinking of using the H2 "BACKUP TO xxx" to push out all backups from 
inside the process itself and subsequently backing up the rest of the files.

Is there any risk in using the BACKUP command with databases being in 
(heavy) use? Any increased chance of database corruption? Will it 
dramatically slow down database  access?

If any of the H2 experts could reflect on this that would be great. And if 
anyone can share any experience in this area that would be great also.
