2000-02-22 Thread M.Goldschmied
Why you don't use 4D Backup ? It is included in every License for the Client from Version 6.5 of 4D. You schould update to version 6.5 if you wan`t to run with MacOS 9, G3/G4 without Disk, etc. To shutdown the Server with a script is the "dirty way". Using 4D Backup is save and professional.
