Unless your DBA leaves the gui open and one of your scheduled backups kicks
off, using the incorrect settings in the opt file.

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Pointing FlashCopyManager.exe at a custom options file
Hi Neil,
we've opted to do the 'copy and overwrite' option files in a script that
subsequently starts the GUI. The scripts are placed in the start menu and well,
the exchange/sql admins see the difference, but the ease of use is such that
there is very little to complain about.
