According to the above web page it merely does file level access to the data. So if you have a live database or something similar then you WILL get corrupt data.
I would have thought this would be a risk for any mechanism that doesn't get the database to dump its state in a consistent manner, whether it be file level, filesystem level or disk level snapshots.
Why wouldn't filesystem level snapshots allow a consistent database backup if a single filesystem is used for all tables and logs? -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
