I have over and over found the only reliable way is to shut everything down
and do it at once...... While my management is as bewildered as yours, mine
last almost 2 days work when he demanded to keep running while I installed and
test a new BRU (rsx's sorta equivalent to backup) - and while it recreated his
entire directory, every file was empty......I don't get questioned much anymore
and can often be found doing updates saturday night at 3am....
