Then the solution where you interrupt the HTTP server for a couple of minutes until the backup can get the checkpoint would be the way to go. I don't know how many files we are talking about or how big the library is, but if there are not that many files, then it may make sense to put them in a different library so the checkpoint process would be much quicker. What would happen with the application now if a user had a power failure on the green screen or from client access? Would you have the same issues? Or is the code written to handle those kinds of exceptions?
