I created an app that our 24 hour data center runs at midnight to backup our VFP database. I'm just using File System Object to copy the data folder.

It appears that this folder copy works if users are active in the system. I know the backup is unreliable if created while dbf's are open. But, since there is not much the operators can do at 1:00am if users left their computer on, what is the worse case in terms of reliability of a backup created while users have left their pc on with an app open?

Thanks,
