>Trying to write a generic backup program in VFP5.0 that will backup data files and databases. I want to be able to backup data even when the files are in use. One approach I have considered is to copy the structure of each .dbf (using adir) to a backup location then go from top to bottom of each table with a 'scatter memvar' and a 'insert into bakuptable from memar'. But how about saving views and stored procedures? Will I be able to copy them during use also? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

I used to do the same thing... just SELECT * from the tables into a backup copy.
