Thanks for providing more details, Alan. Those are the same reasons I don't do continuous backups.

What makes you say that? Michael Firstly I've seen a few (MozyPro in particular) hold a file handle on DBF/FPT/CDX files if they're in the backup upload queue, which can interfere with VFP. Secondly VFP applications using DBF data are essentially a data set spread over many files, hundreds in our case. Unless you can do a 'point in time' backup when you know there is nobody in the system (like the traditional 3AM tape backup approach) then how do you know if restored data is consistent? -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
