Thanks, Tom. I did that and what you say makes sense. I was
just overly worried about the down time since the backup database
dump was well over 4GB and looking for a quick fix. On the
other hand, a 1-hour downtime (what it took) isn't so bad,
and knowing things are solid is worth more than that!
Thanks again,
Steve
