I always: DISCONNECT SET MULTI OFF CONNECT {dbname}
If there are NO errors (if I CAN connect) then we are good to go with a backup. Also, I stop any web services connecting through Oterro – this seems to have a persistent connection, as well.

It seems the network thinks they have RBase connections still open, but not RBase itself.

Some of my users appear to have more connections than they have computers. One user who has 1 three user network had 26 connections. Does the connections get reduced as each user exits ? Just wondering what most of you are using to insure that all users are out of the database before performing a backup. Any enlightenment would be helpful.
