This is surely a huge limitation.

We have users running our app over an entire country.

It is impossible to call them all up and to ask them to exit the
application before a backup restore.

We need to run classic server as it is a Linux environment.

I think it would be dangerous to kill all the fb procs on an OS level?

Any ideas?

Thanks
