Steve, I backup the live database every day here... The Server is running windows 2000 Pro, and has no trouble allowing me to copy the database live. My Technicians can hook up a laptop and do a simple xcopy32.exe with the appropriate switches and copy the database to their laptops and go. I also copy to a local hard drive multiple times a day in case of HD corruption. Once copied to a local drive on my machine, I then FTP the database every day all automatically. I have heard people on the list say you need other programs to do all this, but so far I can't figure out why. If you want advice on the switches for xcopy32 or ftp'ing, let me know.
