Yes, 

We plan of course to have HOT BACKUP.
This is must have feature.

We will have own format of backup file,
And different options.

Igor already have start develop this option more than year ago,
But it was freeze, because this feature usually is built on transaction
mechanism.


----------
Now let's think what we can do right now.

Igor say that he have small utility
    Shutdown.exe
    
To start again 
    vserver_nt.exe -s

So we need just ad this utility to archive of Vserve,
And you will be able do .bat files for auto-backup.

Am I right?
