Whener any method to take backups while the data is changing is used, you
risk to have those backups inconsistent. Will the method be St. Bernard
OFM, TSM v5.2 OFM or SERialization=DYnamic, does not matter. It is the
responsibility of the application and administrator to ensure consistency!

Access is intended for personal use. Consitent backups can be taken by
closing the application and accessing the MDB file. You may need more
robust RDBMS but probably this would require change in the application.

Server: Windows 2000 SP3
TSM Version: 5.1.9
OFM: Version 8.0

I have a Windows 2000 SP4 box that is running an Access database. This box
has Open File Manger configured and running.   Each night when TSM runs to
do it's backup the database becomes corrupted and has to be repaired each
day.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
