Pausing and resuming hosted files
Note  The following information is for server administrators and group administrators.
Temporarily stop access to one or more open databases with Normal status. Connected clients can read data from the database while it is paused, but cannot modify the database until the database is resumed. For example, you can pause a database and safely use the operating system to make a copy of the file.
To pause one or more hosted databases:
1. Click the Activity > Databases tab.
2. Open the Databases folder, the additional database folder, or the group folder, if required.
3. If you are pausing selected databases, select one or more Normal databases.
4. Click Pause / Resume menu for Activity Databases tab, then choose Pause or Pause All.
To resume one or more hosted databases:
1. Click the Activity > Databases tab.
2. Open the Databases folder, the additional database folder, or the group folder, if required.
3. If you are resuming selected databases, select one or more Paused databases.
4. Click Pause / Resume menu for Activity Databases tab, then choose Resume or Resume All.
Note  If you are a group administrator, your server administrator must configure your administrator group to allow you to pause hosted databases in your group folder. For more information, contact your server administrator.
