Well, I'd be unhappy about it, and my unhappiness would be proportional to the amount of incompleteness. >unless the backup and extermination are simultaneous. Exactly. The moral is, make sure your backup is not more than a second or two out of date. Even today it's possible to do that with an important data base, I can't claim total impartiality in this matter but personally I think I'm a very important data base.
