Hi Everybody,

We are looking into scheduling a database backup during the day as the last 
database backup we have for our nightly process is done at around 4:00 AM in 
the morning. If something should happen in the afternoon, then we can go back 
to the latest database backup  which we would have go to disk as our database 
backup from the morning would be offsite. I've tried running a database backup 
during the day but it constantly fails with an error regarding excessive write 
failures. Is this because the nodes are not locked ? If they need to be locked, 
doesn't that cause contention if a backup/restore request is made by a client ?
