Hi Jérôme, >Remember that backuping an opened database is not safe, especially if >you have a schedule to retrieve mail: if the database is modified while >it is copied, the backup may become corrupted.

I do not use a schedule to retrieve mail, so my PowerMail database is inactive when my Retrospect backup runs. If I am certain that the database is inactive, will the backup be OK? Now that I'm an expert in cron <g> I could do something like stop PowerMail at 1:00 AM, run Retrospect at 2:00, and restart PowerMail at 3:00. Is this advisable or is it not necessary?
