Great, thanks. Writing from iPhone, don't know why it's from Gmail... Pretty funny.

We should add that this is true for 0.10 or later. :)

0.9 and earlier still support copy-while-couch-is-running.

Its true because CouchDB is an append only file format. If you have a
*.couch file you can test such things my progressively trimming from
the tail end of the file and loading it between truncations. As long
as there's no corruption randomly throughout the file everything
should be valid.

You say that with such confidence :). This is true even if Couch is writing to the db file at the same time TM is backing it up? Does TM use some kind
I'd shadow copy?

Anyone know if a TimeMachine backup of a running CouchDB will work, or is
there a likelihood of corruption?
