A scenario for what?

If you want to take a copy of a production DB to Test and production can
stand to be down whilst you copy the files then yes this will work. It will
not achieve more than a BACKUP and RESTORE though and this is an Online
operation

Thankx allan

So what you're saying is that I can achieve the same using backup and
restore and then without detaching....
