What effect would this be to the users? Also I don't see a SUSPEND.FILES in the online 
HELP, or the Administering guide. There is a SUSPEND.RECOVERY command though.

So if we were to implement this, would it be like this?

1) SUSPEND.FILES
2) Snapshot the filesystem  (then would I have a filesystem snapshot with no pending 
UV writes?)
3) (command to un-SUSPEND.FILES)
4) Run the backup
5) Undo the snapshot

Any potential "gotchas" with doing this? 

Thanks,
Robert

If you use SUSPEND.FILES or uv -admin -L before creating your quiescent
copy, you can ensure that there's nothing "in motion" at the UniVerse
level.
