| I had a server colocation salesman today tell me that it's not possible to backup an SQL database while it is online without an expensive software package. I don't recall the name of the software.I'm no backup expert, but I thought EM could do a DB backup anytime, with the database in use or not. Any idea what this salesman was talking about?Sam |

| I'm sure there was a point to the offering so I don't want to slam anyone. It's probably a slipup of an inexperienced salesman.Sam |
