Michael,

I thought Dirk was getting a database backed up as flat files (because
it was offline) and he wanted to avoid this - we do hot SQL backups
*and* system file backups of the same server here, so I use such a
directive.  I do know the difference between SQL client and normal
backups.

 
Best regards,
 
Vince
