Actually, Retrospect is completely foolproof (I'm referring to myself). I've been using it for months now. It's set to run a backup "script" at 2:30 AM every night. (I'd make it 3:00 or 3:30 except there's some Unix stuff that apparently runs then.) More than a few times I've still been scripting when 2:30 arrives. usually I catch Retrospect and defer for an hour or until quit. But sometimes I miss it and it just runs. All it does is give a little "boop" when it meets the open Database file (and any open app) and skip it with an error logged. No big deal. it won't do the backup if the file is open. Very safe. But it also doesn't terminate. It just moves on to the next file. Very smart. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
