Hello,
I've got users running an automated backup that makes one zip file of
the solution. It's in FM5 on current windows platforms, mostly XP &
Vista. Until now, I've been reluctant to have the zip backup routine
run automatically because I thought it was important the files be
closed, so the system wouldn't get confused between open and closed
files to archive. Now I'm wondering if that is necessary best
practice. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Bill

It is. Do not ever try to copy running files. Your copy will be broken,
and even the running file might get corrupted, so you end up with
nothing. FWIW, that's what FMI state in their Training Series.

Make sure Filemaker is closed before before running the backup.
