If a database is being written to during a backup the backup can be corrupt.
Since Time Machine backs up hourly, the chances of Time Machine doing a copy
while Entourage is being used it pretty high. Besides the stress of copying
hourly the entire database that could be several GB. I remember way back
when Retrospect users would ask about this same problem.

If you want safe backups 100% of the time. Quit Entourage and the Microsoft
Database daemon first.

Hope this helps!
