Thanks for looking, but on first glance that looks like a product that converts (and/or syncs) from VFP to other databases. I'm really just looking for a straight backup solution.

>>I'd like to be able to back up a VFP database ( i.e. DBC and associated tables ) even if one or more users are actively working with it. Preferably using VFP code, but I'm open to other techniques ( e.g. LLFF ) if necessary. I'd like to avoid 3rd-party applications if possible.

>>The database nor its tables are not currently used EXCLUSIVEly by anyone, so SHARED access should always be available. However, momentary locks will occur during backups and will need to be avoided or handled as necessary.

>>- if I open the new DBC and its member tables are not present, does VFP check for that and cause an error?
>>- if I open up member tables in the source, and COPY TO ( target ) DATABASE BackupDBC, does that create another reference in the DBC to a new member table, even though the reference is already there in the copied DBC file?
