RE: Quiessing the system for backup

Ditto. All of my clients except for the one who is using BRMS have been
using different flavors of the same backup program for years.

We do what Bryan suggests and in a year + of nightly backups have never had
an issue.

But if you only take down qinter you only prevent access via green

query or ODBC transfer mess up a perfectly good backup.

I would suggest ending QINTER and end host servers(ENDHOSTSVR),
that should catch most all ways access to the data.

I think that was to ensure that no one could log in ... However taking

QINTER down should take care of that ... (It was in the program from our
software vendor .. I just never questioned why until now)

Thanks!
