As my message bases total over 45GB at present, shutting down TB! (all
accounts and folders set to compress!) takes just over 6 hours. Not
an option, without having something to SHUT DOWN TB! from within Task
Manager. This is what I do whenever I need to shut down, other than
when I do my weekly shut-down and compress on the weekend.

I do weeklies, as these are 100GB drives.

If there is a way to get it, I'd surely like to reload this, and
TBBETA and/or TBOT if I can get it. I will restore the backups I have
and see what I am missing. Perhaps some kind soul may have the area
where the gap exists and could send me a zipped message base file
containing only the missing posts. I have done this in the past by
creating a folder and copying only the messages requested to that
folder, then zipping it up and sending it to the recipient. The extra
problem is I am still running V2.12.
