If you want incomplete updates in your database backup, then continue without pausing your database updates... :)
Since BASIC applications don't timeout in database read/write operations, it's not really an issue. As for being a 'feature' it is sort of like the scenairo you get with a record update lock contention issue, except with no clause to handle the 'pause'.. Therefore you application would just wait until it's update is serviced...external applications using APIs are a different kettle of fish. So the 'feature' bit being it's transparent to your application. It is what you want with legacy applications of all sorts of vintage.

Stephen: Is this kind of bogus or kind of a feature. Considering all the different ways connections can be made to the dbms, all kinds of software would/could be failing if backups are done during a "dbpause" timeframe. :-( So it really does mean backups have to be very complex with RAID configurations and implementations.
