Steve, It sounds like you may sometimes be starting the copy of the backup before tomcat has fully shut down.
You should be able to identify the java process that tomcat is running under with the command 'ps aux | grep tomcat' or 'ps aux | grep java' and check to see that it has disappeared before starting the backup process. That should prevent the .lock file from being copied over to the backup directory, as it should be properly removed after the full shutdown has completed. Hope it helps, Pat On Tue, Jun 26, 2018 at 8:21 PM, Steve Ray (CMU) <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Periodically, we want to deploy updated projects to TBL, but > occasionally we seem to hit it in the middle of servicing a web service > call, and end up corrupting our .tdb vocabulary.
