Database Backup

[Marcus Müller]

Hi,

I am looking for a commercial software which can backup access 2000
databases with open connections in a consistent state. Does anybody has a
hint where to look for such a backup solution ?

Many thanks in advance

Marcus

Veritas BackupExec will do it. The only thing that it will likely call
it a failure due to the file having changed between backup and verify. 9
times out of 10 an mdb backed up or copied while in use will be OK, only
transactions may make it duff. Sod's Law dictates that the backup you
will need to revert to is the duff one out of ten.
