Funny thing is, Apple used to sell servers, such as our Workgroup Server
80, with a DAT drive and Retrospect.
We use QuicKeys on our ASIP and FileMaker servers to shut down ASIP and
FMPro Server, respectively, at about 1:00 a.m. in anticipation of backup.
I relaunch FMPro Server first thing in the morning (6:30 or so) and
usually run Norton on one or two partitions of our file server before
restarting it at about 7:00 a.m.
By shutting down these programs, we don't have to worry about live
databases and other files not getting backed up. (I also have QuicKeys
set to relaunch ASIP and FMPro Server at about 7:30 a.m. should something
come up and I'm not able to do so manually.)
