Ohhh, I was hoping that by using that policy any _external_ process (a commercial backup tool) would be able to backup the index files in a consistent way...I am afraid I was asking too much. If I manage to coordinate with the external process so it signals it wants to do a backup, I take the snapshot in the indexing process, and it then copies the files, and then I release the snapshot that will work no? javi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
