Just make sure to stop copying live data file and implemet journal. Back ups of those is fine as long as time machne does not try and copy them when you are creating them. One thing you could do is to back up to a folder that time machone skips and upon completion move documents .4BK and .4BL to a

If you are not using the built-in 4D Backup System, then it will be near impossible to get a good backup of the 4D files. This is because the changes are made in memory and periodically flushed to disk (default interval of 20 seconds). There is no mechanism between 4D and time Machine to
