schotja Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Years ago we wrote a vb script to shut down a client hosted peer to peer file in order to allow backup software to backup. Has anyone incorporated a good way to host a client and yet back it up while it remains open. Server does this wonderfully but in non server environments where a client has limited funds and only a handful of users i wondered if third party backup software will work or if inherent OS backup ignore file in use? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John May - Point In Space Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 You should *never* copy a file currently opened by FileMaker Pro, as you definitely risk corruption of both the backup and running database file. You would either need to close the file before backing up, or use FileMaker Server to host the database which can do live backups. If FileMaker Server is cost prohibitive, you may want to consider a professional FileMaker Hosting provider, such as ourselves: http://www.pointinspace.com/ - John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
