Hi Rick,
What do other list members think about this? Would I be likely to f**k
up my database doing backups this way? (Backups are made to external
drive using SuperDuper, btw).
I also run SuperDuper, which backs up my drive in the middle of the

That's a known bug, but I don't remember which app is responsible for
