Hi,

Is it safe to make a file copy of the embedded database file ***.fdb
while the application is still connected to that file? The
applications is multi-threaded but access to the database is
synchronized by the use of semaphore and all changes to the database
via insert/update/delete are commited immediately before releasing the
semaphore by the accessing thread.

My application is a daemon application and it nevers shutdown so I
programmed the application to backup the database file by file copy on
the fly at midnight upon a configurable number of days has elapsed.

Thanks for info

Jeff
