Guys,

The suite for FileMaker Pro Server 3.0 is;

force quit:     Quit application, disconnecting guests if necessary

                force quit
                    [minutes  small integer]  -- Minutes to wait before
                        disconnecting guests
                    [message  string]  -- Message to send to connected
                        guests

close:          Close a list of files

                close  list  -- Files to close

force close:    Close a list of files, disconnecting guests if necessary

                force close  list  -- Files to close
                    [minutes  small integer]  -- Minutes to wait before
                        disconnecting guests
                    [message  string]  -- Message to send to connected
                        guests

database pause: Pause the processing of a list of files

                database pause  list  -- Files to pause

database resume: Resume the processing of a list of files

                database resume  list  -- Files to resume

list databases: Return a list of open database files

                list databases
    
                Result:   list  -- The list of open database files

There is a "force quit" step ... it forces clients to be disconnected if
necessary.  Actually I thought it was only necessary to use a "database
pause" before a Retrospect backup, then a "database resume" step after.

My personal preference is to use the FileMaker Pro Server built-in backup
capability where you can schedule FileMaker Pro Server to make a copy of all
of the databases in another location, then use Retrospect to backup the
"other" location.

Cheers,  Malcolm
