I know SQL is a little different, but generally I find it best to copy the
database to a temporary file first, and then back up the temporary file.
This gives you the closest thing to a snapshot you can get. In our case, we
do not even use a backup tape; we simply copy it to a different server. A
remote server would be better yet.
Access databases need to be compacted occassionally. For this, the routine
we use is:
1. Shutdown the service.
2. Rename the database to a backup file (eg Radius97.bak)
3. Compact back to the original database (eg Radius97.bak ---> Radius97.mdb)
4. Backup the compacted database
5. Restart the service
6. Delete the backup file (Radius97.bak). Actually, this is best done at
step 1 if it exists, and if you have the room.
This whole process can be automated using Visual Basic, and depending on
the size of the database only takes a minute or so. One thing I have
noticed is that the Radius97 database grows very quickly, and requires a
regular clean-up.

You should do the same thing for the "master" database (using another
backup device). I'd let the backup (diskdump) of "master" run before
backing up "Emerald". I have my "master" db get backed up at 3:00am, then
"Emerald" at 3:15am. If you already created the schedule for your Emerald
backup, you can change the time if you need to by going into SQL Enterprise
Manager --> Server pull-down menu --> Scheduled Tasks. Double-click on
your Emerald backup task and change the time in there.
When I run a tape-backup, it backs up the diskdumps. Periodically, I stop
MSSQL Server, and copy the contents of \mssql\data to some other area,
restart MSSQL, then run a tape backup--that way I get a backup of the
actual database files.

Hmm... lately we have discovered a small problem with Multilink PPP and
accounting features with connections. When a Client connects under the
Multilink connection, it sometimes report Port 6000. This may be the port
that the VPN connection between chassis where it will conduct the
communications are conducted.
Could this be a bug in the latest USR Chassis code?

I have not seen this problem. Are you running Quads or HyperDSPs,
Netserver or HyperARCs? And what version of the code?
