John,

Possibly, but under normal circumstances there might be one request. This is a 
small database and backup runs quick. There is a remote monitoring system that 
sends a web request every 3 minutes. The page simply responds with the current 
time although it might get that time from the server. Thing is we've been doing 
this for more than a decade without problems. We also use NTK and Active4D for 
web serving.

Does On Backup Startup Database method run on all connected clients when the 
server is backed up? The docs say "This concerns all 4D environments: 4D (all 
modes), 4D Server and databases merged with 4D Volume Desktop." It isn't clear 
if that means it can be run in all modes or runs in any mode?

Thanks,

Brad

    Are there database requests coming in via the web server at the time of the 
backup? Have you tried turning off the web server during backup? Or at least 
return an error response if access to the database is needed when backup is 
running.
