Hi Jason,
the backup is fine with IB but, what I want to do needs exclusive access to
the database. I'm using Rubicon search and need to update a words table.
This is the exact error

ISC ERROR CODE 335544345

ISC ERROR MESSAGE:
lock conflict on no wait transaction
unsuccessful metadata update
object WORDS is in use.

It was suggested to backup the database, do the update and restore the
updated database over the original one. for the overwrite don't I need to
shutdown the database?
what I was wondering, what happens to the connection while I'm shuting down
and starting up again.

Does this make sense or is there another way for me to get rid of this error.
Thanks
Daniel
