Thanks for providing more details, Alan. Those are the same reasons I don't do continuous backups.

Just curious, Alan. What makes you say that?

Firstly I've seen a few (MozyPro in particular) hold a file handle on DBF/FPT/CDX files if they're in the backup upload queue, which can interfere with VFP.
Secondly VFP applications using DBF data are essentially a data set spread over many files, hundreds in our case. Unless you can do a 'point in time' backup when you know there is nobody in the system (like the traditional 3AM tape backup approach) then how do you know if restored data is consistent?
