how to take hot backup of MDB ...



Hi,
    I have a server that runs on top of MDB. While provisioning is going on, I would like to take the backup of MDB (data.mdb and lock.mdb files). While trying to use mdb_copy command line tool, I noticed:

- mdb_copy utility hangs while server is up, I guess waiting for a lock (on DB?) to be released by the server.
- if I shutdown the server, mdb_copy works but copies only data.mdb and NOT lock.mdb

    How do I take backup of data.mdb and lock.mdb files while server is up and provisioning is going on? Is mdb_copy not the right tool for this purpose? What am I missing?

Thanks,
Sanjay
