Upon return from the ACUC, I decided I needed to review my back up systems. Adam's talk provoked this. I am using SmartSync Pro to copy my AC, PM program (Visionary), Quicken and some other data from my newer server, to my older server, which I am using as a back-up hard drive. When I look at the Visionary back-up log, it says files are skipped. In fact, it looks like most of the program's files are not copying because they are "in use". I backup first thing in the mornings before anybody is using the program so I am a bit confused. This program does run on a Sequel data base. Could this be the problem? Could SmartSync be interpreting the "running in the background" database as one which is always in use?
Any help would be appreciated.
Just for the record, I also have a daily tape back-up and I back-up off-site daily to Mozy Pro. I will be checking these for accuracy too. I want to make sure my back-ups are accurate before I take the giant leap to being fully paperless!
