I'm not so sure of that.  Even when I'm setting up users on UniVerse, I 
never use uvbackup.  Two reasons: 1) It's terribly slow on large 
databases; 2) You don't get a snapshot as of a point in time.  If the 
backup takes four hours, one file may be backed up at midnight, while 
another is backed up at 4:00.  Would a restore of this database be usable? 
 It's better than nothing, but not by much.

Whether on UniVerse or UniData, I strongly prefer the 
pause-snapshot-resume-backup method outlined by several folks here.
