Actually we DO have backpack / roadrunner / whatever it's called this week,
but they wanted extra $$ for store-to-disk, too. When it took 3 phone calls
to get that clarified, I decided to sacrifice the time it was saving,
figuring I needed reliable support for my backups.
Fair enough, but a new gotcha - 6.0 FOS Store's "Image protection
feature!!", which DBOpens each and every -400 file it finds, changing the
accessed date. Even adding ";PARTIALDB" doesn't kill this "feature"
(though it seems it should), so I just might go back to Backpack?
Nah, now I can justify going to 6.5: online backups with FOS. And just
maybe that FEATURE got fixed?
