Hello

Is there a 3rd party utility that can backup Pervasive databases? The
reason I ask is we have a requirement to backup databases every two
hours, and I'd prefer that the database does NOT go offline during the
backup.

Thanks

Check with Veritas. I think they have an add-on to their backup software
that allows the backup of open files.

Another thing you could do is put the database into Continuous Ops mode
which redirects all the database activity into temporary files while the
database is backed up then brings it up to date when the mode is terminated.
I know how to do this on Netware but not on other platforms but there are
probably others on this NG who know.
