 ==Can users be on the system while a backup is in progress?==
-Yes, but commits to the database must wait until the tables are unlocked.
+Yes. You should use the commands included with your database software to run the backups of your Bugzilla data. You can find strategies for dealing with backup considerations at http://www.mysql.com/doc/B/a/Backup.html for MySQL and at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/backup.html for PostgreSQL.
-Bugzilla databases are typically very small,
-and backups routinely take less than a minute.
-If your database is larger,
-you may want to look into alternate backup techniques,
-such as database replication, or backing up from a read-only mirror.
-(Read up on these in the MySQL docs on the MySQL site.)
 == How can I update the code and the database using CVS?==
