What was unstable with 2.0 ?
I am using the following things currently:

ALTER DATABASE BEGIN/END BACKUP

Readng the fdb file (while locked) directly (page_header.scn, database_header.backup_guid, database_header.page_size).
So the only thing I rely on is that the backup_guid is changed whenever one of BEGIN BACKUP is started, and that the scn numbers are tracked correctly.

The only thing I use nbackup for, is "nbackup -N" in startup scripts, if there is a .delta file and "nbackup -F" if I want to make the copied db active.

Is there any particular bug I should be aware of?


Regards,
Steffen
