But there = may be user activity at any hour. I was thinking about a backup strategy : - Hold any new connection/request ; - Let all connected users finish their current request ; - Ensure that all connections are closed (with transient repository, it = should shut down itself) ; - Copy all database files of the persistence manager (no datastore, no = indexes) directly by the filesystem ; - Reactivate repository and performs new requests ; - Begin copying files from the datastore. This may be incremental. Maybe I should need to prevent files from disappearing from the = datastore by moving them to a temporary trash node. I would like to know what you think. F
