Are you using the Quiesce database command? (pause all writes, data can still be read, no loss of data)?

The commits are not atomic. If you restore to the tape, you may in my case have "half an order" or an invoice half processed. the unidata dbpause does not make people get out of maitnenance screens or release locks, so records can be in an uncommitted state. Risk is small, but it is present. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
