Re: [Exist-open] Automatic backup

[Casey J. <cas...@jo...>]

Is there any way to know when this is happening? Basically I need to do
hourly backups, and if the database is locked this is going to create major
problems.

I also have to offer users "export on demand" where a user can click a
button and get an export of their repository? However at the same time this
is a multi-user environment and that process can't block other users.

Any suggestions on how to do this without blocking usability?

Cheers,

Casey
