Occasionally. You need to get good copies of your data. You can either 1)
shut down the app that creates the files while you back them up, 2) use a
TDP agent to get a good backup, 3) use an open file agent like St. Bernard'd
OFM, or 4) use NSI's DoubleTake and back up the target copy of the data
(which is always closed).
